So to start with there is accelerating and braking. When you accelerate you notice that the front of the car rises up and the back drops this is because when you acclerate you shift the weight to the back of the car.
When you brake you shift the weight forward. The front drops and the back rises.
Next is side to side transfer. When you turn left you transfer weight to the right end of the car. Doing this normally you wont upset the balance of the car and the car will stay balanced.
However when performing maneovres you need to unbalance the car. So to get a car sliding sideways you need to unbalance the car. This can be achieved at high speeds by simply turning quickly, especially in rear wheel drive cars. However at low speeds it is still possible to get the car sliding by performing a Scandinavian flick.
Cornering
When you approach a corner the first mission is approaching with the right speed. Too much you will end up vastly understeering or vastly oversteering. Resulting most likely in a crash. Ford drivers take note. When you turn the steering wheel you want to get the maximum turn from it. Now if you are accelerating hard and you turn most of the weight will be on the rear tyres. There is hardly any weight on the front tyres, so when you turn the wheels simply skid and the result is a dirty understeer that ends up with you hardly turning at all. So to counteract this you should brake late and hard just before your turn to get all the weight shifted to the front wheels. So when you turn the you should appyl a little brake as well to ensure that weight is still on the front wheels. This maximises your turning and results in a lot less understeer.
Next lesson is that shifting weight to the front makes the back end lighter and easier to slide so once you have turned the corner you should accelerate again to shift weight to the rear wheels so that you dont oversteer. Also known as FEATHERING beacause you feather touch the accelerator to transfer weight to the back and not so much that you wheelspin the rear wheels. This is why jips who brake during cornering or even worse lift off the accelrator set themselves up for oversteer and when it happens dont know how to correct it. So in conclusion:
1. Approach right speed
2. Brake hard and late to transfer weight to front tyres before turning. Keep the brake pressed lightly while trurning.
3. Once the corner has been turned feather accelerate to prevent the back end sliding out.
Scandinavian Flick
Say we have a right hand turn. To get the car to powerslide out left you turn the wrong way first (Left in this case) then the right way (Right in this case) Now what this does is first transfers the weight to the right then suddenly all to the left this results in the tyres lossing grip and a powerslide occurs.
