  • @suspiciousstew2953

    5:03 this is why you need to heel and toe on RWD cars cause the engine braking acts like a handbrake "locking" (momentarily) the rears wheels and when you steer at the same time the rear just spins out uncontrollably something you don't want while racing anywhere... rallying included.

    • @risingstar1309
      @risingstar1309 2 роки тому +6

      Yes! Nice catch. I noticed it as well. I saw him spin out and thought “how did it spin so fast did he hit handbrake” and then saw the gearshift

      @Leo.B.Photos 2 роки тому +9

      It's also known as a "Shift lock" in drifting - used a lot back in the day in Japan to lock up the rears and initiate around a corner. Probably not the best for a gearbox though!

    If it's anything like my old E36 M3 it will need a non standard wheel alignment of around -2 to -2.5 degrees front camber with 0 degrees toe on the front and about -1 to -1.5 degrees rear camber and 0.5 toe in on the rear to maximize the grip on track, and in general.
    Negative front camber causes natural toe in on the front if you didn't know.
