let the front wheel drive pull you thru the corners.
dont cost thru any corners, at least give the car steady power thru the turns. this will help with the cars uneasy feeling.
Nice tips, I have personally found these to work for me on the Ring as well. I have never timed myself, but believe it or not, chasing a slightly suspension modified EF (89) Civic, which is my friends car, is not an easy task with basically stock suspension on this track either.
And as far as the front pulling the car, this works best when you ease on the gas rather than punching it, feel where the front tires are just barely giving, due to the slight overpower, and leave it there throughout the last 2/3 of any corner; this gives the time for the LSD to react and gives you the pulling effect. I also think that hvacmike should keep the revs high (above 4000, this is what I do) at all times especially when entering and negotiating a corner, this helps you through the turns and gives you alot of control aswell. Just remember a general rule that SHOULD always work...
enter the corner at a safe comfortable speed with minimal tire skidding/squealing, and then when you know that you're prettymuch in line for exiting the turn around the apex (inner-center of the turn, very close to the rumble-strips), ease on the gas and turn a bit sharper than you think you would have to. This should help you and get your LSD to react and you should be quite pleased with how the front of the car pulls into and around the turn quickly!
Atleast its something like this, its harder to explain in writing but if you try this you'll get the gist of what I'm talking about. Give it a try!
