  • Understeer is the enemy of performance driving, but learning how to mitigate it and manage weight transfer is something all drivers need to know. Watch as our Bondurant Racing School student Billy Knight takes to the oval for a couple more hot laps.

    What you are talking about here is trail-braking and with some cars the result is snap-oversteer or a spin.

      Or a 911. All the weight is at the rear!

      Nah, a 911 will give you oversteer as the weight will swing around a turn. Especially leaving the apex under throttle. A 911 is notorious for oversteer, but it is always preferred to the latter.

    In mountain road racing
    Drivers used to hold there brake with there left foot and at the same time pressing throttle with right foot..
    This surely reduse understeer Without compromising with speed....

      @MachineGunIt : Na bro.. it's different
      Heel toe is Rev matching while braking
      Left foot braking is to eliminate understeer by shifting weight to front by giving front tyres maximum traction..

      Sounds like what you mean is trail breaking in to a corner.

      Understeer is understeer, regardless of drivetrain.
      A horse-drawn carriage can understeer (if the conditions are right) - and that is 0WD.

      @1mini50dad 6 років тому +3

      Understeer is a push in the front tires due having to much weight and or speed on the front of the car. It can happen in any type of car, regardless of front or rear wheel drive

      How to end understeer in a front wheel drive...
      The first and most important step in ending front wheel drive understeer is selling your piece of shit econo box Not hatch. Take the cash from selling that fwd womans car and invest it in to a real sports car like an S 2000, M2, older M3, or even a MX-5 miata or GT86 if low on funds. And then enjoy hooning in a proper handling vehicle.
