E Brake
Did a quick search and didn't find anything...
This may be a better question for another forum...but this seemed to fit pretty well.
Can someone explain the process of using the e-brake in turns. I'm trying to do it in Rally Trophy and can't quite get it. (Obviously I realize that it's different in a real car...I'm just curious.)
Thanks.

I don't know if this is the correct way of doing it, but this is how I do it.
- brake and downshift to appropriate gear
- go into a turn with some plus speed
- start turning
- disengage clutch (depends)
- pull e-brake
- tail end comes around
- release e-brake
- re-engage clutch (depends)
- pedal to the medal!
watch out for your center diff!

use the brake!!! i's all about the left foot braking. come into the corner fast and turn in tap the brake with your left foot and the tail will come out, drop a gear while in the slide and then jam the gas to straighten. also works well for real driving with a bi of practice in gravel pits and the like.

I like to use the E-brake whenever i get out of controll or start under-steering twords something.
ex. On snow when you turn and brake and the car goes straight i keep wheel turn snap the e-brake up and hopefully end up pointing in the right dirrection.
It works some times but i have ended up in a field at about 50 mph with cows running away from my spinning rally car.
its kinda funny now. Mooooo

Yes, it's all about braking. Take your car on dirt and you'll find out soon enough. In a real car, you can get the rear end to come around on loose surfaces by transferring weight to the front and tapping the brakes. This will rotate the car when combined with a little "flick" action.

actualy you are all incorrect, in a AWD car there is a reason that when the e-brake is engaged the rear wheels disconnect you should brake but keep on the accelerator because while you pull up and lock the rears you want the power (going only to the front two wheels) to pull you around the turn then release and you are already on the throttle thus no lag. Have fun enjoy.

Yes, if you have nice/aftermarket center diff. Wouldn't this possibly fried your center diff?

no it doesn't
so you can put the clutch in to prevent anything bad happening to the center diff and it will work just fine.
after putting the clutch in on my car every car i drive i do it when i pull the e-brake.
even frount wheel drive where you should be on the gas when you pull the e-brake.
oh well the booty of all wheel drive.
