Quote from Ardent :I have another technical question for the rwd's. As I can now drive constant laps with the xrg I'm still significiant slower comparing to the gti. The reason is obviously that I have to release throttle on each corner exit to avoid the oversteer of death. Watching the replays I see the guys keeping their foot fully on the pedal. So how do you do that ? tried it with excessive countersteering, but no good.

excessive countersteering doesn't really work sometimes in a RWD, its the matter of how smooth and how fast you counter steer and "catches" the oversteer.

you're not using a FFB wheel, so it may be hard for you to judge whether the rear tires are starting to skid/slide... its not the matter of how much you countersteer, but how early/fast you made the counter steer when the car is starting to skid or slide. I'm sure in the replays you've watched, those guys didn't really counter too much, but they "catch" their slides fast enough with just the right amount of counter steering, thus eliminating the oversteer in short time.
As to the rwd cars I've noticed some things that most of you know already: Always when riding rwd never pump the brakes or the gas pedal, this just upsets them and then they will kill you shortly. When exiting corner apply some throttle before you fully release the brakes. This makes the transition from braking to accelerating smoother and the fzr specifically needs this.

As most of the fast setups are oversteery they require trail braking as they otherwise have too much grip in their front tires. (yeah, you know this already, but I just had to say it...) And slow in fast out in every corner, if you can't apply enough throttle you have entered the curve in wrong line or just too much speed...
^are you the same hyperactive that regularly destroys me on AS national?

Sometimes i pump the breaks slightly towards the end of breaking if i expect locking and understeer.
