MG Metro Turbo race car's brakes glowing with Jon Flanigan

[WRraider2009]

Man that's cool. Never would have guessed how much twisting and turning and torque stress is put on the tires. Of course this isn't what you would see in an everyday street car as there isn't as much crazy fun driving, but still awesome.

Cool video buddy, thanks for uploading!

Like monster trucks

[JasonMann8]

the thick tires act as clutch springs do except laterally. They give the steering more give so that the tire doesnt instantly slip. With theese tires the driver can feel the tires giving in so he can control it better.

[pattzydriveman2010]

rather cold that like lol

[paulhunter123]

mate the tyres getting pulled of the rim

[mabolzichjjl]

sweet vid!

[unrealace98]

@ash7990 Um no it's not if your brakes spark you have a problem.

[opmike343]

@unrealace98

Umm, don't generalize. ALL conventional braking systems will show some level of "sparking" when pushed to the limit. It's simply the usual dust glowing due to the higher temperatures of the vehicle's kinetic energy being converted into heat. Pads are designed to degrade. When this happens in race conditions, you get what we see in the video.

@opmike343

Its not dust its because they use sintered pads.

[tommymech]

@unrealace98

No they don't have a problem. Sintered brake pads are used and they have embedded bits of metal in the actual pad. Not needed on the road but on the track the difference between ordinary pads and sintered pads is enormous. On race bikes the sintered material is often copper but don't know if that holds true for cars (they used iron at one point but wear rate was too much and additional braking not as good as with say copper).

[GuyRWood]

Huge awesomeness!

[ash7990]

is it normal for brakes to spark?

[TomCoook]

really amazing. know i know how it looks like under the car and around the wheels during my driving. not like that of course :D

[naxps]

1:25 those tires are behaving like marshmallows. Win.

[epicmenio]

WOW, this is one of the most impressive/cool videos.

[starionorscott]

Amazing seeing how much the tyres flex, really great video

[89gtgtlx]

What camera set up are you using, very impressive video

[x3davidlovesicarly]

how did u make them so red when ur driving?

[FoxtrotSupernova]

If you have to ask, then you don't need to know....

[Bennboy13]

It's called friction.

[suguita]

OMMGGG THIS IS THE CAMERA SHOT I ALWAYS WANTED TO WATCH! THANKS SO MUCHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there any more videos with this angle?

[kpj200]

It's really cool to see the tire flexing under pressure!

[fabrb26]

How mutch power have this car ? and the weight ?

Thank you

[omnifocus]

Fun stuff... I took a similar video years ago and never bothered to do anything with it.

I'm feeling inspired. :D

[animeupdated]

thats was a scary i didnt know when its that fast i thought the tires were going to come off

[invar1]

damn this is an awesome video from a great angle. never realized tires flex that much during cornering, geez.

[mickeynismocat]

Great tyre shot forget the brakes, People get to see what tires really go through rather than seeing them on a parked car! cheers!!

[Camster3]

some1 help my pussy is wet ;]

[2000mk1]

Good vid mate. Think a lower profile tyre would help the handling though !!

[gialofly]

Afraid not...The tyres used are Yokahama 048R in 175/50/13. We have to use a tyre from MSA list 1B and that is the best tyre. Handling and all out grip are 2 different things, it handles just fine.

[jetwowairforce]

Hey excellent video...!!!

Great angle,awesome sound...!!

Thnks...!!

[FoxGTR34Nismo]

That was just a trip! That tyre warping was trippy, every time it flexed I thought it was gonna break bead or something lol!

[Gondee]

i like watching the tire tred move. Kinda give u an idea why they tune those things

[nightfire620]

is that a Jack Knight 5 speed straight cut gearbox on that? -- sounds chipper!

[ZechsSetsunakute]

Cool! FYI: the camera is mounted in the front left wheel well, facing rearwards.

[Motorvation]

That's amazing.!! I would not of guessed that the track was so bumpy...

[jb8402]

Pretty neat. Never realized how much the tires walls flex.
