[Terminus]

We have been greatly simplifying things in these discussions to make it simple to learn, and give the best rack results for someone new to mid-engine rear-wheel-drive (though most of the pricinpales apply to all cars). Another way of stating the various bits above.

Weight shift from rear to front, either through hard lift of gas, or thorugh adding brake will lighten up your rear end, reducing traction on the rear tires. Sudden weight shift of this type will quickly take you to a state of oversteer, sending you out of the corner backwards.

Just EASE off the gas and EASE on the brakes if you must use them while cornering.
