Re: [ST] Brake sliding

["Zoltan Pavlakovich" <zpavlakovich@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the way I would describe it:

Powerslide - throttle on past the apex with lot of wheelspin powering out of 
a curve

Backing it in - throttle off downshifting loosing traction slamming it 
almost sideways before a turn

Did I use enough words?

If done right it looks like poetry - if not - highside or lowside.
