I like to point nose under braking at slight angle; EPS likes to reverse that just before turn-in!!

Default Attn: Dan Calle - just curious: what kind of car did your instructor drive?
Because I remember you telling me that he was trying to teach you to trail brake, but if he is used to taking a non-Quattro car around the track, maybe he doesn't realize that it's not ideal in the S car.

Either way, I'd hate to see you mess with your ESP system on anything but a dedicated track car. Any kind of street driving should always have ESP equipped, IMO.
