throttle technique
Do all racers fan the throttle when getting on the gas?

If by "fan" the throttle you mean gradually role on the throttle then yes. That's how I get on the throttle just about all the time.

That's a must. Great thottle control is one of the characteristics that's seperates amateurs from pros.
That blip blip blip is can be annoying. There are always a couple of drivers that do this at the track. I usually hear them coming. Blip blip blip, " here comes the throttle stabbing dude." Haha
I plan on testing out some traction control on my radio this weekend to see if it actually makes it easier.

So the blipping is the proper technique ?

all depends on how you want the car to react in that particular corner. feathering the throttle is needed when driving smooth through a corner. blipping/stabbing is helpfull when sliding/drifting through the corner.

I was thinking it was like traction control, but
it is done to keep the motor from loading up?

Basic centrifugal clutch in the most rudimentary single-speed driveline imaginable.. The blip is just enough RPM to slightly engage the clutch, allowing you to "drive" through the corner. The difference between good and bad throttle control is knowing how much of a blip is the right amount. Too much and you'll understeer as your weight transfers off the front wheels, or you'll oversteer as the power unloads. Either of which is what most inexperienced drivers do while attempting to replicate what they hear fast guys doing

This is a pretty old vid, but it demonstrates the technique pretty well because he's the only one on the track for a bit.
