This is something I've been focusing on more lately.  Our Toyota group competed this past summer in a relatively small and extremely tight lot in Kelowna that has some serious bumps and dips.  Focusing on this allowed my big truck to outrun the AWD cars on better tires - one of whom I can't touch at YYC.

Also, doing winter driver / ice dice stuff on Ghost, weight transfer understanding is #1 if you want to be in control and fast. 

It's a key thing to learn!

Understanding weight transfer and how it can make your car handle the way it does (and how you can use it to your advantage) was probably one of the biggest benefits to my driving.

Ice Racing taught me more about weight transfer than any other form of motorsport I've been involved in.
