Question for you fast drivers. A few months ago I did a drill in autocross school that I really liked. It was a "figure 8" drill, where at the "top" and "bottom" of the "8" was a box. The entry and exit points were marked with two green cones each for you to go through. The "tip of the 8" was marked with one green cone. The drill taught two things: First was to visualize the proper line to take through the box without having to move the steering wheel. Second was the use of throttle steering. It was fun to learn that throttle steering actually worked.....need to tighten the arc, lift a bit off the throttle, need to lengthen the arc, add throttle. My car really seemed to respond well to this.

So, I've been wondering how much is throttle steering used on the track? If you reference specific tracks, VIR is still fresh on my mind. The only spot that I thought of throttle steering there was turn 1-2. Although its been ten years+ since I've driven Summit Point, I am familiar with its turns.
