    More LR bite is more static weight on LR tire then RR, so more weight on LR should mean it has more traction then before thus when on the brakes or the engine is slowing the car the LR drags the car left more.

    Pretty crude explaination but gets the point across, lol.
    Thanks billet, that makes me feel better. I was thinking in terms of on throttle into the corner and couldn't see how more bite could loosen the car on entry.

      generally entry is referred to: off throttle but not always, crates often don't really have an entry cause they never lift so you have to be careful with wording. A lot of confusion comes from different use of terms.

      Middle to me is right before throttle application and has no bearing on track position, where some may refer to middle as in the middle of the track.

        Very good point.
        In general, when someone says corner entry, they are talking about deceleration and turning left at the same time.
        In general, when someone says mid-corner or middle, they mean still turning but maybe not decelerating or accelerating.
        In general, when someone says corner exit, they are talking about acceleration and the car coming out of the turn (still turning but straightening out).

        On many tracks (maybe MOST) , you're never going in a straight line.
