Default 90 degrees corner.

For all you experts,

What is the technique to do a 90 degrees corner (Street corner) hard? Assuming you are in the right gear (2nd gear) already, dont have to downshift. I wanna know how you control your gas/brake etc...basically how you control the right foot....in detail.


Thanks.

1. no major changes in accelerator pedal is the key, and a smooth steer- keep the throttle where you enter the corner... if you need to change, change gradually- only full throttle at the end of the corner when you have complete control (no loose tires when you step on it).

2. practice where there is no traffic- and practice first from slower speeds (take the entire corner first at 10 mph then next time 15... until you can learn to keep the throttle in the same place.

3. never take a corner fast with anyone around, or where you have any blind spots (including behind the corner). a hard brake in the middle of a fast corner is a good way to loose control.
