Sorry DP - FWD vs RWD.
Scandanavian Flick
Quote:
|
The Scandinavian flick, Finnish flick, Manji Drifting, or Pendulum turn, is a technique used in rallying. While approaching the turn the driver applies a slight steering input to the opposite direction of the turn, then steering into the turn, while sharply lifting off the throttle and (in some cases, depending on speed and type of layout) lightly applying the brakes. This will cause the car to slide sideways facing slightly away from the turn. Then steering input is applied towards the turn and as the driver releases the brake pedal while still holding down the throttle the car will slingshot itself around the corner to the desired direction. Of course, countersteering will again be required to control the induced oversteer.

I used to use the fast in - lift off - floor it - go round sideways technique all the time in my original Mini (not BMW MINI) and later in my Pug 205.
Until of course that incident with the dry stone wall in Cumbria.
