I was fortunate enough to read a twist of the wrist years ago and I have to say that once you get used to it you can really speed up your steering using this technique. I'm positive it's saved me a few times dodging cars that have pulled out in front of me - let alone cornering.

Although you can only really make it work if you have confidence in your front end. Which I don't at the moment. I'm putting the SuperCorsa's on soon (this weekend maybe) so hopefully that will make a difference (my D207RR front is scalloped) but I'm positive my suspension isn't set up for me or the bumpy roads - it's great on smooth fast sweepers though. hrrmm (Ooops, didn't mean to hijack the thread - sorry!!)
