      Idk, f1 relies on both dummy fast cars AND drivers with the reflexes and coordination to control them. Its not like just anyone can hop in an f1 car and set record track times! Drag racing is for fast cars, rally is for fast drivers, but id say that f1 is a middle ground

      It’s a technique they used to help turn awd cars instead of using hand brake, e-brake, as to not brush off speed and keep momentum going. It was something that Colin taught himself.

    • @jimreynolds2399
      @jimreynolds2399 3 роки тому +1

      @@rewinapier8474 I taught myself how to do it. Took me almost 20 years to do it perfectly without thinking and not crashing in all driving conditions. I do it in every car I drive now every day. I also don't use the clutch once the car is moving which makes left-foot braking easier. You know you can do it when you still do it under pressure because when you're learning you switch back when you need to stop quickly. It's one of the hardest things I've learned to do because you drive for so long right-foot braking so you need to unlearn that which is burned into your subconscious.

    Colin McRae became my favourite wrc driver after i watched him drive two times (or three?) at rally acropolis. I will never forget his style and his aggresiveness at a, really, tough rally. When he was approaching you thought that the car was a wild beast ready to eat you up -no matter how far from it you were positioned. Impressive, take no prisoners, driving, coming -i believe- from the earlier days of racing when the drivers risked a lot all the time. That's all from a greek guy//

    300hp were as much as 4 average family saloons. Today it's half a family SUV. With 4 times the power to weight.
