[s-cars] Advice required re cornering on the track

[Bobby Richter]

Hi,
This is not technical but rather related to driving my car quickly
around the track corners.
I am not asking for driving lessons but am having a hard time getting
into a corner quickly. If I go in too fast, it seems that the only
option that I have is to point the wheels where I want to go and put on
the power. If I am already too fast, the car drifts towards the outside
and off the track. If I tap off in the corner, the front turns in and
the back drifts out leading to some interesting problems.
At the moment, my style is to brake harder than my competitors as a
reach the corner turn in and as I pass the apex, floor the throttle out
of the corner.
Are there other ways to get the car into the corner? My entry speed is
slower than my competitors and I don't like the idea of them passing me
as we turn in because they block me on the way out of the corner.
Just sharing some thoughts....
Cheers,
Bob
