I see it all the time, especially in 1/12 racing, where other drivers have way too much steering throw and they go into a corner and the car just looses all corner speed because the front tires are acting like a brake almost. I guess with the high capacity batteries now people don't have to try and have an efficient car because they're not going to dump. When I started racing sedans we ran with 1700's and soon after 2000's in mod for 5 minutes and I usually ran a 10 turn and didn't dump.


it seems that i'm one of those drivers that use the front as brakes to slow down the car into a turn... i really don't know where to begin in correcting my driving style, since i started playing GP3300 was already out.
