That, and he screamed at me over the radio to not brake before turning. Why? Because Pierre’s seat adjustment changed my steering input angle, allowing me to turn the wheels farther than before. The car performed a Scandinavian Flick flawlessly as it drifted around the 90-degree turn. While I thought doing it again was pointless, I did as instructed, but this time, I aced the course. Prior to the second to final run, Pierre walked up to the car, said nothing, moved the position of my seat, slammed the door shut, and said “Go!” as he pointed down the track. Each time my brain prevented me from doing as I was instructed.
He reprimanded me on the radio and I did it again, and again. The reason was simple: Braking while turning is so unnatural to me, the wiring in my brain overrode Pierre’s instructions and I braked before turning. To take a right turn, you turn left, jab the brake hard, flick the steering wheel right and back again, hit the throttle, get into a nice drift, and countersteer. This causes weight transfer that rotates the car toward the outside of the turn. Approaching along the inside of an upcoming turn, the driver steers sharply towards the outside of the turn, then lifts off the throttle and lightly applies the brakes. Faster! Faster! Now, turn, brake, flick the steering wheel, throttle, countersteer.” The Scandinavian flick, Finnish flick, or pendulum turn is a technique used in ice racing and rallying.

Pierre cracked on the radio, “Hit it! Mash the throttle. The idea is to get the car to rotate quickly around a 90-degree turn.
For example, in the right-hand turn depicted here, get on the outer left of the entry.
The Scandinavian Flick is an exercise in performing the uncomfortable and completely unnatural with a rear-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S. STEP 1: Begin by positioning the car toward the far outside of the corner’s entry.
