hey race experts! a serious question: is it correct if i say that sometimes its faster to drift throu a corner than going properly and not loosing traction? espesially if the car doesent have high tech traction controll and has understeer. thanks if you answer. drivers in WRC are doing it...
@youluvana totally different story...drivers at wrc have a different setup/tires etc , they have to 'drift' for having the maximum amount of grip and cutting though the gravel ..and those are also 4wd ! Trackcars have a very different setup etc and the amount of grip is so much that when drifting you'll loose speed . Though it does depends on the car's setup ...most older cars like escorts , old porsches etc also drifted on the tracks..but tarmac back then wasn't as grippy as nowadays
@youluvana so it all depends on the amount of grip available of the track , combined with the sort of rubber used and the characteristics of a car's chassis ...Racecars on tarmac will be setup on having the most downforce in the corners , thus massive griplevels ..drifting those cars will end up in almost an immediate stand-still or losing so much downforce they'll spin out . Look at f1 cars ..major amounts of grip/downforce ..one spin and it's uncontrolable .
@youluvana WRC fe. those cars have high suspensions , smaller and harder tires , 4wd and almost none downforce in a straight line ..they'll have to get their setup on weight-distribution , hard braking and massive traction out of a corner . These cars won't have the same levels of downforce a trackcar has , they do however have the moment of weight-distribution and g-levels so high up and so quickly changing it throws them into a corner with blistering speeds .
@TheAMGLover wrc cars are also not that fast on the apex of the corner , they just pull themselves out by enourmous power-delivery on short-throwing gearboxes , thus big traction and griplevels when propelling out of the corner , that's why they use handbrake in a hairpin..taking the momentum of throwing them in the right direction and lifting off again..
I think at the end of the seasons, they should have a safety car race. All safety cars and their drivers from the season... would be a huge spectical lol
@staggabob Well thank you very much. The Michael J Fox comment was funny the first time, why feel the need to re-post? That isn't even your own wit. It also shows the lack of intelligence as the description has failed to be read. There is no point oppsing though when they are in their annonymus pack mentality. So please, feel free to express your special needs and "troll" away. I am glad at least one person has appreciated the video, the description and his own intelligence.
How many idiots fail to read the description and feel the need to post some stupid comment about the quality of filming? A lot. How many see a comment about Michael J Fox and think they're being clever by repeating it? Again and again. Too many. Thanks for posting this, you got the important part perfectly!
people seem to be getting the wrong idea when they hear safety car.... the car is there to demonstrate how insanely safe those people race and give some fan service aswell ofc... allas at some other tracks they have forgotten this ^^
This is one of the fastest cars on earth! I'd love to see the time it nails on the Top Gear track. Up against an F1 car though it's like my mom's Volvo....
@EVERLIVERPOOL can just imagine him yelling "POWER!!" and then slamming into the nearest tyre wall, or shredding the rear tyres like he did on that American road trip. :L
@rey1164 Haha I watched the first 15 mins of Cloverfield then turned it off and took it back! It was awful! Well, if I didn't move, there would be no video...
i was doin security at silverstone last year and was in the pit lane standing directly behind the sls amg saftey car.. what a noise it made & its super stylish
I still don't know who is in it, it could be Button, Davidson or Maylander himself, because the helmets all look quit the same! But I still guess Button
@Gurksallad10 If I didn't move down the terrace, you would have no video. I don't know if you have ever been to Luffield A terrace but judging by your comment, you haven't. There are many steps so holding the camera still is impossible. I also had to move quickly or again, there would be no video. The part of the video where the video is poor, nothing too important is happening. The main event which was the drift was captured well enough and I was still moving to make sure there was a video at
I think 2011 will be a good seasonfor Vettel again, but I can see Mark and the McLarens pushing him all the way. I think the 107% Rule is a good idea, because Hispania are pretty much useless, and get in the way. The DRS sounds like something that should have been around for a lot longer, KERS I think needs stricter rules though because Red Bull seem to have it only for the start. No F-Duct is safer, The Blown diffuser is genius,and Petrov's podium was great! :D
I hope you are enjoying the new Formula 1 season so far... Australian GP completed, I'm interested to hear your predictions for the championships so do please comment here. Loving the new Medical Car with the optional AMG Package boosting the BHP upto around 475hp!! I think it could be Sebastians year again but I think Lewis is going to fight hard. In addition, what are your thoughts on the 107% Rule, KERS and the DRS? I'm in favour of all at the moment but it's early days...
@xanugar Full Lock would just spin it off into the gravel there lol! But yes more angle would be good! Great corner for drifting that! Luffield A Terrace
My second GP too! It said Demonstration Laps - SC on the time table thing so we stayed to see what it was! Pretty sick. Did you get into the paddock after the Formula BMW race at the end of Sunday? It was free entrance onto the track then into the paddock if you liked and I got to meet loads of the drivers and team bosses!
"very sideways" lol. more like a power slide than any kind of drifting i've ever seen.
