Default Re: Cornering discussion.

All surfaces, corners, cars, tyres, drivers, alignment principles, driven wheels etc. are so different that it's impossible to write a manual on this subject. This is before we consider what else is on the road or adjacent to it. You can't explore a situation holistically without driving it.

What amazes me is that I see so many BR's in Corsa and Clio models who profess to use racing techniques (as if that matters with a 1.4 litre engine!) and then proceed to steer with one hand!!!! Doing so they look as if they've been involved in a waterskiing accident. They haven't, of course, it's just that the laft one is superglued to the gearshift lever.

No one has yet metioned positioning when approaching a corner or bend. Whatever name you give for a deviation from a straight ahead course of travel.
