    Default dipping the clutch in corners

    not sure if this is a technique or a bad habit lol but when i go into the corner i dip the clutch and raiseit again just before exit. i put it in the required gear and raise the revs so the turbo kicks in well on exit.

    i know your supposed to select your gear before corners so you are 'in control' but what i do works well for me. :)

    Its bad because rather than powering through a corner you are drifting/coasting through it, it will understeer more this way also.
