This has always kind of confused me. When you complete your braking before you start the turn , how does the weight not transfer to the back before you apex?

 

Well once you start braking all the weight immediately goes to the front, at that time you have slowed down enough that the weight transfer to the back is not felt as much unless you stomp on the gas and the weight rapidly shifts to the back. I dont know if this makes any sense but thats how it felt to me on the track.

 

I understand the concept and have employed it many times. It's a much more obvious sensation in old school 911's. As soon as you stop braking, the weight begins to transfer to the back end.

 

I get in butt first and then swing my feet in... sometimes I put my right leg in and reach over to lower myself in but I see a lot of busted center covers and am thinking ... not so good....

Never tried it in a corner but it should be about the same...

 

I seriously think the best mod on a 911 is a 15 lb bag of kitty litter or road salt in the front trunk. Car feels a lot settled around corner! Try it!

 

Slow in fast out.
Classic.

So much to say...my advice is do a DE event and listen as hard as you can to your instructor.

Be safe and best of luck!

No......Fast in........Faster out.

 

+1 on C4S. rocks if you push 'em

IMO, to go fast in a 911 on a track, for many (probably most) corners, you should not be off the brake before turn in. There are only a few situations where you should have full brake release before turn in [think very high speed sweeper with little speed reduction before turn in]. In track applications, many people mistakenly believe that the brakes only role is to reduce speed. This really isn't even 50% of it.

As above, you shouldn't be off the brakes before turn in most of the time. But to answer your question, weight transfers from front loaded to the car to taking a set under brake release, not under throttle.

I use this technique too
