After racing 2wd at York last weekend, on a slippy floor I began to question 2 things.

1_Are sticks any good when you want to brake quickly to flick the back end out then get on the power - I keep slipping off the bloody stick !
2_How best to set the brakes to get that balance of not locking up but sliding the back end out.

I noticed, when I got a sharp corner right (not often) by entering the corner, braking just enough to get the back end out, then accelerating around and out of the corner I was much quicker. But to do it consistently was not happening. The fast lads seemed to do this effortlessly.

Now, I know i'm no demon on the sticks, but I wonder, have I got the speedo / tranny set up right - as hitting the perfect brake spot was tricky, easy to over brake and mess it up, or under brake and go wide. I use older LRP sphere competition speedo. Do the newer speedo's have ABS or similar, are the brakes now much better ?
