  • A GOOD video...to dance to! "I Gotta Buggie!"

  • lol @ the level of fail involved in this video.

  • fail tutorial. Nice way to put flat spots on your tyres and lose the race. Hopeless

  • I like to keep my tyres round!

  • Trail braking is all about braking 100% (threshold) before corner entry and gradually ease off brake pressure as winding the wheel to apex. With these technique you can brake later and reach the corner entry with add a little speed. Take advantage of using all traction available of the tire to create extra grip cause the car faster to apex. Plus gradually ease off brake mean slower and smoother weight shift to the rear that's prevent serve understeer. Improving performance for cornering entry.

  • This is fail on every level.

  • lmao, most people are just wrong in the comment section. this guy took the WIn, he posted a whole video. wow.

  • fail

  • Idiot.

  • thats not a millisecond that was more like locking the cunt up all together

  • Bud, trail braking is the act of gradually decreasing brake pressure as you enter the corner. The purpose of this is to rotate the car into the corner to achieve optimum tire slip angle and grip. Having a kart, with a solid rear axle and subsequent biblical levels of corner entry understeer, I would've thought you'd know that.

  • Wrong

  • caterhams aren't 4 wheel drive or front wheel drive either, so you'd have to lock up the rears, and if you did that the revs would just come back up to match your speed once the wheels started spinning, meaning you wouldn't gain any more power than if you didnt lock up. the only way to get your rpm higher is by downshiftiing or putting the clutch in

  • This is trail BREAKING, where you brake at 110% for a minute and break the shit out of your car leaving a trail of parts. OP read the above guys post, that is what trail braking is.

  • Yeah, its like locking up for liek a few seconds then coming back to 100% breaking throughout the corner

  • i don't understand how the boost works, i always thought trail braking was keeping a small amount of brake pressure all the way until the apex :S explain please?

  • Basically, you hit the breaks, clutch engages because wheels stop spinning and the revs shoot up sky high. You then stop it locking up by coming off the pedal a little and the revs only fall a little bit until you are around the corner, this then means you have so many revs that the engine is in the rev band of say 11000 revs and it can pull better! =-)

    Thanks for asking!

  • yer but, when you watch F1, the front wheels are the ones that lock-up. The engine powers the rear wheels, so for this to work you need the rear wheels to lock up, but i don't see this happening in F1 on TV, maybe it's minute. But even so if they locked their rear wheels, they would loose control quite easily :S

  • Personally, not been in F1 car myself, im just guessing that the break bias is biased more towards the front of the car to maintain stability while cornering. Im sure the back wheels lock up sometimes too but not as much pressure is applied to them.

  • mm yer the brake bias is 60:40 but it can be changed easily for different corner, usually they change it to 80:20 for a hairpin... but yer i don't think the rear locks up much in f1, especially not like your video

  • 0.o, dyou work in the racing industry?

  • no, i'm a 16y.o. student in my final year of school, but yer i know quite a bit about racing and techniques used in it. See what QSQCaito wrote? that's what i believed trail braking was and i still do, i confirmed it by researching it.

  • Lulz... mainly cuz its not an F1 car, its a carterham :P

  • Comment removed

  • I spent 2 days testing in meh kart to get trail breaking spot on =-) Just keep trying if you spin =-P

  • Happy to Help, remember to subsrcibe for more videos!

  • Thanks,

    Really Helped.
