paul c should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Anyone tried the trick of left foot braking on a fwd if it starts to slide on a bend? I've never done this but I'm told that gentle left foot braking while accelerating moderately with the wheel turned in the direction you're trying to go in will pull the car back into shape by slowing the car on its rear brakes to give traction back to the driving wheels. This is supposed to be a good technique when driving on icy roads but I've not had the car long enough (or found a big enough empty car park in the ice) to give it a go.
