Steering & Car Balance

Weight Transfer = Your Main Tool

When you brake, load moves forward; when you accelerate, it moves rearward; in a turn it moves to the outside. Smooth inputs keep the tire load in the window where the tires work best.

Driver Inputs — Cheat Sheet

• Steering rate: steady, predictable; avoid stabbing the wheel.

• Brake release: smooth taper; don’t go 100→0 instantly (The brake is not a on/off switch).

• Maintenance throttle: only when car is balanced; hold small % to stabilize.

• Throttle ramp: add power as you unwind steering—open → add.

• Vision: look where you want to go; the hands will follow.

Common Mistakes

• Turning in while still hard on the brake or while still downshifting violently.

• Asking for throttle when the wheel is still heavily turned.

• Chasing understeer with more steering lock instead of reducing speed or adjusting line.

• Yanking off the brake (drops the nose and upsets rear).
