I never said I agree with the term 'release'. I'm just helping everyone else to understand.
And i hardly think that going up on two wheels is a rarity anymore. All you've done is proven to me from your own experience that the tyres couldn't of been that sticky if it was such a big deal (back then).
You seem to have misunderstood the simplicity of this, I never said you were still turning when the wheel returns to the ground. The trick is to return the inside wheel to the ground at the moment at which you are in straight line (the corner is pretty much finished).
Ian just because everyone else calls its release doesn't mean thats actually what is happening, you are getting caught up in the terminology. I don't call it release but to aid the other people in the conversation (and the fact that the thread started as release), I kept using the term. Release sounds an awful lot easier to understand (and is less words) than 'the time at which your inside rear returns to the ground is too early/late'.
The mistake that many a driver make when getting onto sticky tyres is thinking they can put the power on earlier, you actually need to put it on later (when you are very close to a straight line). You just carry a lot more speed in and through the corner.
