Steering
This chapter helps you understand the key principles of steering.
Chapter summary
This chapter gives you an overview of:
- Oversteer means the rear tyres lose grip and the car turns too much.
- Understeer means the front tyres do not have enough grip, so the car turns less than the driver intends.
- The book recommends fitting the best tyres at the rear to reduce the risk of a rear-wheel skid and oversteer.
