	Honda-R Gets Muddy !
		Next up were the handbrake turns, slightly better but I'm still letting the car drive me some of the time and I've got very "nervous" hands on the wheel.
		Turns out my first run was 1min 08secs and my second was 1min 09secs.
		The speed that you could carry through the turns was amazing, especially where there was a lot of camber helping you and the car just wouldn't get flustered no matter what the idiot behind the wheel thought he was trying to do.

	Handbrake turn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The handbrake turn is a driving technique used to deliberately slide a car sideways, either for the purpose of negotiating a very tight bend quickly, or for turning around well within the vehicle's own turning circle.
		The driver starts by using steering input to transfer weight to the outside tires, the handbrake is then used to lock the rear wheels, thus upsetting the adhesion between the tires and the road surface.
		In a rear-wheel drive manual transmission vehicle, it is also necessary to operate the clutch to prevent the handbrake from stalling the engine.

		For a very tight turn, turn the stick in the direction of the turn direction and apply hand brake for as long as you wish to rotate.
		Turn the steering wheel half a rotation in the turn direction and apply hand brake for a brief moment - only enough to cause sideway sliding of the rear wheels.

		Handbrake turn: (Speed 30 kph and more) For most safety, on your car of course, find a junction or a parkinglot which is opened up, so there is a lot of space if anything goes wrong.
		Eg, if your sliding through a left bend you first have the wheels turned to the left to make the car go into the leftbend, and when the tail is going out turn the wheel(have to use one hand) to the right and the you won't be overrun by the rear(spinning around).
		Turn the wheel and apply the brake and handbrake at the same time, your car will spin round.

		To steer on throttle, simply turn the wheel to full lock (all the way round) in the direction you want to go and stand on the accelerator, this should cause the back end to slide around behind you.
		To do a handbrake turn get up some speed, start to turn the wheel, then clutch in and pull the handbrake on - keep the button on the handbrake pushed in and hold the handbrake up.
		Having a handbrake that operates this was is often referred to as having a "fly-off" handbrake.

		Essentially this is just a handbrake turn, accelerate into the half-circle of cones and press the handbrake button while still holding down accelerate.
		Turn the car left or right and it will start to spin, when the nose of the car is pointing around the cone (so you won't hit it) release the handbrake and accelerate back to the starting point.
		To maximize turn, try to be a close to edge of cones so that you can get a better time.

	Modern Racer - Driving Tips - Handbrake Turn
		It is possible to turn the car a full 180 degrees to face the opposite direction by performing what is known as a handbrake turn.
		Handbrake turns are the easiest to perform with a front-wheel-drive car, although any car will do.
		Just remember - for manual cars, depress the clutch, turn, pull the handbrake (or press the foot e-brake), straighten the steering wheel, release the handbrake (or foot e-brake), shift into first, floor the accelerator, dump the clutch, and finally, countersteer to keep the car straight.

	DRIFTING.com - FWD overstreering/drifting/ *** dragging
		Pulling the handbrake to turn around a long radius corner will actually worsen your cornering time in most cases, so it is not a technique for road racing.
		The result is that a very sharp turn is required for the exit, which may be unsettling for the car and the driver may instead go off the track.
		The key to safe turning at the track is to follow the old saying "slow in, fast out." Enter a turn slowly to avoid getting into trouble, and speed up as you are exiting the turn heading for a nice and straight piece of asphalt.

		If you can learn how to do a handbrake turn properly, then it will be the basis for pretty much most of your thrashing skill.
		When you feel yourself rock sideways in the chair, press the button on the handbrake in with your thumb and pull on it fairly hard, it won't need to be too hard because you're on a slick surface.
		Execute the turn and keep the power down in 2nd gear, in an auto, keep it locked in 2 on the selector.

	Glossary - Shasta Snow Trip - 2005
		The handbrake turn is a driving technique used to deliberately spin a car, either for the purpose of negotiating a very tight bend quickly, or for turning around well within the vehicle's own turning circle.
		The use of the handbrake locks the rear wheels, thus breaking the friction between the tyres and the road surface.
		A related technique is the handbrake turn, in which the rear wheels are deliberately locked in order to break the friction between the tyres and the road, allowing the car to be spun around a very tight bend or junction, etc.

	Autotesting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The tests are timed with a stopwatch, with penalties of 10 seconds given for each cone hit.
		A wrong turn in a test results in a maximum time, which is usually 30 seconds slower than the fastest time in class.
		Autotesting is also a little similar to autocrossing in the USA, but the slower speeds, frequent handbrake turns and reversing are all major points of difference.

		Early apex turns are often accompanied by an early turn-in point where you start your turn away from the outside edge of the track and more towards the center.
		The end result is the necessity of a very sharp turn that either the driver or the car may be unable to accomplish safely.
		The turn is started from the outside edge of the track and aims to hit the midpoint of the turn on the inside edge.

		For best results, the Handbrake Turn should be done at a speed of 30 - 40mph in dry conditions or 20 - 25mph in wet conditions.
		To perform this manoeuvre you should turn the steering wheel slightly into the direction that you wish to turn (away from the carjacker).
		If on a very wide road or a road with a soft grass verge a Y Turn is the least dramatic of all the evasive manoeuvres and again can be used for an attack to either the passenger or driver side.

	NASIOC - HT: pivot turning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		To perform a simple 180 degree handbrake turn; brake to suitable speed, pull the handbrake to lock the rear wheels, holding it in your free hand with the button pushed in, ready to disengage it, and almost instantly turn in the direction you want to turn.
		To my knowledge, every rally driver who uses handbrake turns will either use a "fly-off" handbrake (which means it doesn't have a functioning lock button) or they hold the button in and continue to hold the handbrake until the point that it is not required.
		They can do handbrake turns in the WRC cars because the center diff is set to the fully open mode by an electric switch when they pull the e-brake handle.

	Reverse Lock Motoring [Archive] - MINI2
		Aproach the turn with speed, say about 45mph, about two car lengths away from the pin cone (turn), lift the throttle slightly, yank the hand brake HARD while immediately getting back on the throttle.
		Hypothetically a handbrake turn would be much faster on a very, very narrow course that had close to a 180 degree turn, but then the course would be so narrow that some other cars might not even be able to get through it.
		I asked our GS national champ, and he said that he never tries a handbrake turn in competition and quoted his teacher as saying it practically was never the fastest way through a turn.

		The downside to front wheel drive cars is that without the use of the handbrake, and particularly at high speeds (such as track and circuit events) they tend to understeer.
		This means that you'll almost always have to use the handbrake on motorkhanas and autocrosses, which will shorten the life of the handbrake cable and this can be expensive.
		Unfortuantely when performing a handbrake turn in these vehicles, you will still need to clutch in for the duration of the turn which will mean none of your wheels will be driving you forwards so you don't have the advantage of a front wheel drive vehicle.

		Then its just a matter of a short, quick turn to realign as you get closer, you should clear the water, but house is almost directly in front of it, so unless you hit the ramp so you come to the right, you will crash into the house.
		Drive straight at the wooden kicker and as soon as your front wheel is on the ramp, turn away from the wall as a fast as possible, if timed correctly you should get enough hight and spin, problem is the narrow street will bump you around.

		The fitment and use of a hydraulic handbrake is just one aspect of being a successful rally driver – as we said before, having the right equipment.
		If the turn is an acute one it may be possible to negotiate the turn without too much drama if you are travelling relatively slowly.
		If you enter the corner at speed, the natural tendency of the car will be, at best, to understeer towards the edge of the road with the brakes totally locked up or, at worst, to slide off into the shrubbery, necessitating a bit of backing and filling to get back on the road again.
