So what's the throttle steering lesson like at an Audi school classroom session?

- If you give it throttle in a corner, the Audi will push like a pig.
- If you lift off the throttle midway through a corner, the Audi will push like a pig.
- If you give it hard throttle to try to rotate the car around, don't bother, because the Audi will push like a pig.

Any questions?
