Where is James May’s article? I think that was the best explanation i’ve ever read for handling. > Handling is the ability of the machine to feed information back to our receiving apparatus so that we can act minutely on it. The higher the fidelity of the feedback, the more precisely we can use it. > **[Joysticks will never replace steering wheels](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/columnists/jamesmay/7429624/Joysticks-will-never-replace-steering-wheels.html)** > > Most of the time, Fusker the cat lies on the table in the kitchen with all his paws tucked underneath him, looking like a loaf of bread with a face. ---

> [@What kind of spider is this?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-kind-of-spider-is-this/50440/68): > > :rofl same Ok, when I go into a corner I tend to brake late and apex late, so when it goes into an understeer like condition I let off the brake and tap the throttle to correct the dynamics. On the other end of that action understeer during acceleration is corrected by letting off, is that the confusion? Maybe I’m using incorrect terminology. The other thing mentioned, I had a stiff setup in the rear before and it surprised me by kicking out, which isn’t as easily controlled with a turbo fwd. If the power was right there with no lag it may pull through better. In any case I de-stiffened the rear and haven’t been caught off gaurd since.Thus my inclination for understeer with fwd. would rather have a perfectly neutral arrangement but that takes attention to detail to achieve, so in the mean time… ---

Subaru BRZ - So much Win out of the box. Go-cartish feel around on /off ramps and just the right amount of weight in the steering, the car slices down the road just waiting to be thrown around. I’m a HUGE fan of them. ---
