Talking Rally drivers redefine common racing terminology

"When you see the tree you're about to hit, it's called understeer. When you can only feel and hear it, it's oversteer."

haha. I don't know who said it first:

"understeer is when the front of the car hits the wall, oversteer is when the back of the car hits the wall, horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you" - Fireball Roberts"

"If you can see the tree you're hitting, you have understeer - if you can only hear the tree you're hitting, you have oversteer." Walter Röhrl
