- Someone asked earlier what a pendulum turn is. It is a rally driving technique
- where the car is given a quick "twich" in the opposite direction of the turn.
- It is meant to set the car for the apex and also to keep the car as much as
- possible on the border of the "traction circle".

- Please correct me if I'm wrong (Why am I writing this? Of course someone will
- correct me if I'm wrong. Someone will correct me even if I'm right).
