We born at the same year, but i only started driving alone on my 13th, been driving fast whenever i could when there was no trafic in countryside gravel roads. Also the most experience i had was with front wheel drive vehicles. As you said around the middle of your video, and that applys to all kind of terrain, but on gravel and slippery roads, is where you understand how FWD really works. Unlike RWD where you might need to apply a countersteer to maintain the front where you want on the exit of the corner, the FWD doesn't require that if you enter on the right line at the right speed and the most important at the right GEAR, you simply keep the wheels straight and give the right amount of throttle. The counter steer on FWD can be used but if you keep for more time than is needed, the result may be really bad for you, well i could say a lot more about the fun i have with this kind of vehicle, but i came here just to share a bit of the opinio i have based on the few years i have driving fast front wheel drive. Unlike you i've never had the opportunity to race or work with that, but i've been on many dangerous roads trying to improve my skills for the sake of fun.

You are totally right on your experience and the feeling is really like that! Just be safe and I hope you can translate your passion into a hobby on track or closed roads, as is never a good idea to push the limits in to roads open to the public😅

I always hear that you should race with lower tyre pressures because as the race goes on the pressures will keep increasing but when I race on ACC, my tyres reach optimum pressure (+\-.5 psi) with 3 laps and then I can maintain the same pressures for the whole stint. Am I doing something wrong? I don’t feel like I lose much grip through the stint and as the fuel comes down im improving my lap time.
@alexfontana1873 Жыл бұрын
Hello Mark, not at all, in ACC it's actually common to even see a lower tyre pressure while the wear progresses, so if that occurs you might even need to start the race with a higher one. I'm not really sure why it is like that, but in reality it's almost always the very opposite

quindi non si usa tanto il trail bracking in entrata in curva, meglio frenare prima e entrare di sterzo in modo che la parte posteriore segua la rotazione..
@alexfontana1873 Жыл бұрын
Il trail braking lo si usa o per puntare giù il muso senza però bloccare l'anteriore, per consentire una rotazione migliore, o non lo si usa per evitare il posteriore parta troppo e troppo in fretta nel caso di curve veloci o un set up molto aggressivo, o lo si usa abbinandolo al gas, un dieci per cento di freno con un dieci per cento di gas stabilizza la macchina in entrata dei tratti veloci

I've never driven fast a FWD with rear steering, but I reckon the technique should stay the same and if anything you would have less issues in rotating the car, potentially avoiding a very aggressive set up and therefor keeping the car more balanced in high speed

Ive gotten my alu rig recently and was looking for the best explanation of seating positon, because I wasn't quite comfortable. And this is so far the best explanation out here. Very clear, very straight to the point and showing examples. And as it turns out, what you get into at 3:13 is exactly why I wasn't comfortable and what I need. The only criticism I have is that you could've gotten more into detail on how to position the pedals.

Got it! When it happened to me in the real car was mostly because the steer was too close to me, and maybe even too low. The less bent are your arms, the less elbow pain you will get.

So I have a p1x and hk sprints with that same baseplate and slider. I get left knee pain after an hour long race at 50kg on the brake pedal. What should I do? Raise the pedal plate? I have my seat already with back at the lowest and front st the highest. Even have lumbar support so my back is flat against the seat at all times with no space
@alexfontana1873 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, definetely raise the pedals. If you are running with the seat already titlted backwards but the pedals aren't high enough, the leg will be too much bent and therefore when you press hard on the brake the knee cap gets too much stress and pushes outward causing pain. The higher and more in line the ankles will get, the less knee pain you will suffer.
