Binnie, that's because he's a closet Comput- errr... Mathematician, sorry, force of habit.

Sigh. Damn you and your math! :) All's I know is it works. Maybe a topic closer to your heart would better illustrate.

Depending on how extreme the corner is and the slipperiness, drifting is used a lot in rally. Keeping in mind that in point-to-point racing you don't really know what's coming up ahead (like a rock) so it's advantageous to have the car already pointing in the right direction upon exit. Plus the chicks dig it when you do it sideways, or so they tell me.

Scandinavian Flick = the good rally drivers, of which I am far from.

The funniest part of rally school was that the Subaru Team Canada driver, John Paynter showed up and told us all to go nuts with the cars. He's also the guy you go to for warranties. :)
