Gtr For Sale, Never Raced
#21
In most cars, spin &/or slide to a stop. When you get understeer a hard bang on the brakes followed by a yank on the wheel will sometimes help. The brake transfers weight to the fronts which may then respond to your steering input. I use this all the time in my 20B Cosmo (a bit nose heavy!)
The diff is with a GTR you have more chance of sucess! In your understeering GTR you brake, yank the wheel & hit the gas hard. The twitch unloads the rears which starts to spin, the ATESSA flicks drive to the front and pulls the front in harder to the apex and all is well. Most back off & plough off, some think they can do it and can't, end up tankslapping all over the place or crashing. One or two drivers here get it right regularly and it is a joy to watch!
In cars with basic semitrailing arms rear & nothing else, like my Cosmo (and early 911's Dattos etc), lifting into a corner will unload the rear end & the toe & camber changes will spin the car. So if I think I am coming in too hot, if I lift a little (but not enough to unload the rear) & tough it out & usually all is OK. If I lift right off not only am I coming in fast but the car just flicked tail out almost instantly. Great if you can catch it, into the scenery backwards if you don't!
