So I've autox some now with front wheel drive and have hit a track with same car and bloody heck I'm over driving and scrubbing speed off via plowing.

It's like its second nature over driving the bloody car. I know I need to stop it but. The lines I try don't seem to be generating speed like overdriving the fwd car.

What is the proper tech for fwd? Is it really slow in and roll on the throttle more than an fbody?

Please anyone with fwd exp help out the idiot behind the wheel.

I have been driving a Focus prep for Spec Focus Class in Nasa. I personally like to trailbrake to help rotate. I also try to do a late apex so that my steering wheels are straighter when i'm on the throttle. I also try to steer as least as possible. If the car is not turning in more steering only makes it worst. Also let the car fall into place when exiting corners... It will feel like it is opening up to the outside of the corner exit by itself. If you want further explanation i can do some drawings...

Hey thanks for the driving tips, neat link.

Here is a lil more on the car. It's a VolksVagon with an automatic and a lil turbo. The car makes about 190 - 210 hp cant remember. There is enough hp to go full throttle on a turn, any where on the turn and not blow the turn (off track) if your slow enough. In short it has no power and with the automatic its hard to keep it spooled up in the power to boot.


Here's a link I dug up:

My next session I'll try your suggestions transam as you described with the focus. Also I'll try to be more fluid, kind of like a momentum car but with a lot more weight.
