Saw this coming when they all went around that right hand turn and the Celica had twice the body roll of any of the other cars.

You need to make the car match the demands put on it or compensate with more intuitive driving skills.
Apparently this time the driver couldn't compensate enough.

Thts what makes it a bad idea.. no bueno.

watch this idk if this actually works but start at 5:30 till they finish explaining the left foot braking. or u could watch the whole episode . but if this technique works can someone approve of it cuz i suppose it makes sense im not much of a physicist but makes sense since i use a g27 to play GT5.

Nice to see there is still love for Initial D

That whole thing can be explained by a smaller diameter steering wheel and low travel rack & pinion. The steering now turns from full lock to full lock in a very short amount of steering wheel movement.

Also, what they mention about stabilizing the car is correct and the theory holds true.
It is a good idea to watch the whole thing, but around 1:09, watch his pedal work and it will answer your question.

Yeah i never paid attention to that part i guess i never caught it in the episodes just so happened i watched that episode again cuz the name caught my attention and happened to pay attention to the technique they mention. maybe i should rewatch the series again lol so if it works then ill try next time i go fast on turns haha... there should be a thread with driving tips such as this one for those who want to improve their skills

[Snowfork]

That thread would drown in one phrase, "PRACTICE MORE!"

lol yup it be too broad it be best having 4 separate ones FR, FF, AWD, and AWS
