@mignik01 most race car drivers touch the brake pedal just before the corner to bring up pedal pressure and to make sure they have pedal pressure so it just gets the fluid through the lines and the car is ready to stop quicker and you have a harder brake pedal
VERY cool! i just found out about this racetrack and im really interested in going their on their open runs. i just got my liscence too and i live in ottawa. so its worth a shot to see if i could go for a run! nice driving! by the way, dont you damage your tranny or engine while you downshift too early and fast? cause as you approached the turns, you can hear the car really goin over top rpms when downshifting. just wondering. thanks
awesome video, you can learn so much by just watching and cranking up the headphones. thanks for the replys on the question too rsr14. beautiful machine you have there:)
Very serious. Kick back is accentuated by the vibration from rumble strips. In fact ran into that issue yesterday at Road America in qualifying at the national championships. Any questions?
I find it odd that with Porsche's latest technology in the 997, that you'd have to "pump up" the brakes. I know they went with the dual master cylinders......but needing to do that in a $225k "all in" race car is a joke.
Pumping the brake pedal isn't required most of the time. It's just a habit to make sure the pedal is good before committing to the next braking zone. Sometimes with floating rotor's the pads will get "kicked back" and require a quick pump to close up the gap to the rotors. This isn't a Porsche thing, it happens with all floating rotors.
There have been crashes at CMP's Turn 1 caused by opened brake calipers from running up on the curbing in Turn 14. Always a good practice to blip the brakes.
Cool video. Its not often we get to see you spin. I love the pedal cam I hope to see more of it in the future. Next time you are at CMP you need to let me know so I can come hang out. Oh yeah, I make great ballast if you need an extra 200lbs on the passenger side.
Great video and driving. I had not seen the way the no lift trans worked before. One of my favorite tracks, although I haven't been back since they changed the final corners. That back straight kink and the carosel are the best. Thanks.
Very nice technique. I'll use the brake pumping trick next time on my 997 Cup. Before reading the comments, I thought you were testing if there was enough pressure on the pedal before really going fast . I had a brake failure on a 996 Cup, and it wasnt fun when in Magny Cours a GT1 Viper pulled ahead of me at the end of the straight
Are you actually heal-and-toeing? I am getting a "Zwischengasgestänge" fit, a mechanical device that blips the throttle when the gearstick is pushed.
love that gearbox. are you tapping the brakes to keep up the temp or to maintain hydraulic pressure? also, is the red knob to the lower right of your steering wheel for brake bias or differential control? sorry for all the questions but thanks for the great vid!
Tapping the brakes to pump up the pedal. The knob is brake bias. I locked the front up so adjusted the bias a little more to the rear. Thanks for watching. :)
That sequential shifting is disgusting

Good stuff. Thanks! The pedal work blew my ignorant little brain. Here I thought all you guys did was throttle, lift, and occasionally brake. 5-star!

How come you have to clutch on the downshift? Is that how all sequential boxes work?
mojostevo 2 years ago
the clutch doesn't have to be used but it does save wear on the dog teeth.

Very true on "kick back" but I generally find that happening when you get off on the rumble strips. As for the habit.....probably good one.

I thought it was only motorbikes that suffered from that, with a tank slapper, etc.
