I thought I'd established that it takes planning to drive at a reasonable pace on the track and use track techniques. If you'd planned on enough time to use such techniques why will you enter 'too hot'? entering a turn 'too hot' indicates poor planning as it means you've entered a turn at too high a speed to perform necessary manuevers!

How can traction not be an issue? Traction is an issue even in drifting...

I'm really not so sure about this. They are both accelerative forces (i mean in a physics sense- changes in velocity). Why will acceleration put an engine under more load than deceleration if the change is at the same rate? Please explain this...
