I'm an intermediate level autocrosser running in CSP. I'm looking for
some insight on driving technique. Now I know that most cars turn better
to the left (weight of driver, etc.). I've noticed that I have trouble
consistently with right handed turns. Transitions seem fine as in
slaloms and offsets. Turn-arounds, decreasing radius sweepers going into
a straight or tight medium speed right hand turns give me a hard time.
More often than not, I have problems with corner exit understeer. It's
not a lot but it's just enough to cost me precious time. I find it's
harder for me to keep the correct line through these turns. The driver
perspective is so different turning right. I try to force the car
towards the apex but end up pushing more. FWIW the car is aligned and
straight so I tend to believe that it's a driver problem as opposed to a
car problem('83 RX7). Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!
