John Whitehead not only understands the physics of rear wheel steering but. most importantly, he identified the real problem as an almost imperceptible lag-time (or feedback delay) to the human drive

rear wheel steering is a headache -- it was used on ThrustSSC out of necessity, not choice. When a driver has to input full steering lock at plus 700mph, you know there is a better way, but you make

I agree, Jack. Rear steering has gotten some bad press because of bad designs and poor drivers. Nothing should ever be outlawed unless it is proven to be a true safety hazard to spectators...the driv

Sure, that works for me. The two engine's are producing a couple around the cg and that would be a real challenge to untwist with the contact partc of a rear wheel or two. More like a thrust vector s

it ain't been proven yet to be the way to go. It don't feel the same, and it don't steer the same. SCTA has allowed 2 or 3 in the past and not one went 1/2 mile before the driver lost the directional

I wonder if part of the rear-wheel steering problem is having the driver sit way back toward the rear where he senses a steering correction as a "G" force in the wrong direction of what's intuitive.
