"Spin" the wheel or "turn" the wheel?

[Buddyworm]

I'm just curious as to what kind of steering techniques you guys use when drifting. Do you give the wheel a push in the direction you want it to go and let the caster do the rest, or do you like to turn the wheel entirely with your hands?

Personally, I find it depends on the steepness of my drift. If I feel the tail start to come out quick I just toss the wheel and let the caster take it. But if my angle's not too wild I'll use my hands the whole way.

i keep my hands on the wheel and just help it or stop it according to the angle

i let it go and use my hands to turn it in the direction.

generaly i let my hand to the work but if its wipping really fast then i let it fly

I barely touch the wheel.

i generally let it go in small incriments, to make sure i dont over correct. i try to "guide" the wheel as far as i think it should go

I aggree with him.

I let the steering wheel "autocorrect" in a drift, but I've started to grab the wheel just before it's all the way corrected to extend/smoothen my drifts

depends if both hands are in the car or not....



wow, i cant beleive i just made a post that

I more let it spin, but it does depend a bit on the corner and whatnot.

I let it spin, especially for linking turns, but I'll give it a toss one way and let it spin until its just short of where I want it to be, and then turn it the rest of the way myself. Gives more control and helps to combat the pendulum-spin effect. I also tend to cup my hands ont he wheel to slow the spin for turns where the tail comes out gradually. Kinda depends on the technique used to initiate the drift.

ahah parry your avatars gonna give himself a freakin hernia if he doesnt settle down.

but ya i agree it depends on the corner, the steering characteristics are very different between a gentle curved sweeper compared to a tight *Censored**Censored**Censored* U

HAAHAHAHA sry bout that now that i re-read that i really shoulda put it a diff. way haha wow i cant believe i put that on here
