Viper Handling advice

1 post by 1 person · 17 Feb 1999 - 17 Feb 1999

Hi, I have some questions about how best enter and exit turns in Viper. I was doing well in Pro class untill I got some power upgrades. Here is what I do when entering a turn I decelerate while making my initial turn to get the weight forward and get the rear end to swing around, this works pretty well (the same action in GPL causes a serious spin out). Going through the apex I give even throttle, or mabye let up a bit if I'm squealing. After the apex I give it throttle, this is where I have a problem the rear end breaks loose real easy and I have trouble recovering esp when I'm running without a wing. The question is, should I be giving throttle or should I keep it even untill the next straight? I was always led to believe that throttle would push weight on to the rear wheels and increase the grip, so they shouldn't break loose. Where am I mistaken? This seems to work well in GPL. Mike U.
