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
-
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.

Its not dust its because they use sintered pads.
-
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).

rather cold that like lol

mate the tyres getting pulled of the rim
-
sweet vid!

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.

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

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.
