No hands clapping...
FYI, the design of the front suspension on the 4k/4kq/Ur-Q and probably
everything else that uses the same basic design Audi introduced in 1973 (!)
will go over-center when it approaches full lock and will NOT straighten out
under power. You must steer it out of the turn manually and cannot rely
upon it to self-center as you can with other cars.
As such, I'm not sure that Dave's "look Ma, no hands" trick signifies much
at all other than he did something really stupid that would get him thrown
out of any autocross I've attended here in the U.S of A. He would have
achieved exactly the same results if he'd been driving a non-Torsen Ur-Q or
a 4kq or a 4k or even a Fox.
