left foot breaking and diffs
Stop it, I am not getting any work done with this diff thread going on.
Quickly, is _one_ of the reasons for lfb to trick diffs into applying more
torque to non spinning wheels to balance a car through corners? Seems that it
clearly could be from what has been said already. Just to really throw the cat
into the assembled throng of pidgeons, would the effect be the same tween
torsen and non torsen? Summarising greatly, it would be more predictable in the
non torsen case? Either with three free diffs, or the central one locked, the
non torsen would react by a better balancing of wheel spin between wheels (lower
speed differential between a spinning and non spinning one) under lfb? Not so
much of an advantage given the received wisdom that their handling is dominated
by understeer.
In the torsen car it may _reduce_ the effects of the rears breaking free on
gassing it when, on hot corner entry, the rears are rotating slower than the
fronts so receiving more torque and leading to oversteer (less so under lfb?).
