@Arielfall1 Thats a good point. Can it also be upset by using the curbing a lot?

@rtrestorations - ok that makes sense....I am a CVAR guy and we dont allow that kind of stuff in the big cars. Great video by the way...

The reason he taps the brake before the brake zone for the car is to set the brake pads to make sure he has a good pedal feel. With a car that has alot of vibration the brake pads can move some distance away from the disc when you apply the brake you have to push quite a distance down on the pedal to get the same brake force as you would if you tapped the brake to reset the pads closer. Hope this wasn't to confusing.

Eh, heel-toe works best when modulating the brake and striking the gas for a smooth downshift. The big right-hander that he's doing the most left-braking on uses more gas pedal modulation than brake. Heel-toe would be a hell of a leg-twist if you intend on flooring it in a second or two, hence the left-foot brake tapping. Plus, as was stated above, speeding up brake/brake to gas transitions is key. Unless you're running some sort of enduro, coasting is a waste of lap time

I'm curious, what kind of gearbox is used in this Mustang?
Have a special clutch or the changes are made in time?
MSRCWB 2 years ago
This car has a 4-speed Jerico and a standard racing clutch -- nothing too special. The reason we can shift w/o the clutch is because the gearbox has dog rings.
