When's the best time to "floor it" when going through a corner?v10_viper 08-08-2002, 10:46 PM i drive on gravel roads everyday on my way to school and i pick the way with the most turns and i always apex through them and when i'm half way through i just floor it to make the rear end break loose, is this the wrong time to floor it or what? give me your opinion please 911GT2 08-08-2002, 11:46 PM In a RWD car on a low traction surface, any time is the wrong time to floor it. Power should be applied smoothly. That's assuming you have a RWD car...i'd assume you would understeer in a FWD car though. A smooth power application through the entire turn after sufficiently braking before the turn should yield the best trap speed after the turn. v10_viper 08-09-2002, 01:28 AM no no,i mean like rally racing where you TRY to go sideways, road courses are where u wanna keep control, this is a gravel road with a rear wheel drive car DVSNCYNIKL 08-09-2002, 08:44 AM You should floor it right after the apex of the turn. 911GT2 08-09-2002, 09:04 AM Yeah, if you're trying to get the back end around, at or after the apex is best. Too early and you'll spin to far, too late and you'll just lose acceleration. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
