@@jeffk9268 He did two tests at Suzuka and you are right, after the first test he told the Honda engineers that they need to stiffen the rear of the car… as it was too “sloppy” like you say. The proud Honda engineers were devastated, but took his advice… and I think it must have been one year later, when the F1 schedule brought him back to Japan, that he tested the improved prototype and gave it his approval.

[@4637812648]

“The normal technique on corner entry is to keep as smooth as possible,” explains Takeo Kiuchi, Senna's Honda race engineer of 1990-92. “But Ayrton would use the throttle to put more torque through the tyre and change the yaw, a little bit each time. This way he could get a better trajectory before the apex without as much steering."

[@johnbutera5805]

Andretti would do something similar long before Senna.

Have you ever seen the video of Senna driving Monaco???!!! If not, you HAVE to watch it!!! One hand on the wheel and the other on the shifter at all times!!! It's CRAAAAAAZY!!!! 😃

[@johnbutera5805]

Yes, Kikuchi was describing the "Circle of Friction" or Adhesion, that Mark Donohue was famous for. Jim Clark was also a master of this technique. Not only is it fast, but it also saves wear and tear on the chassis and tires. Andretti and Senna used a different technique, that IS faster, but is brutal on the vehicle, especially Andretti. That's why he was SO fast, but had so many DNFs. It was akin to the old "Bootlegger's Turn" in that he would fly down the straight, slam on the brakes quickly and turn the wheel, then off the brake and onto the gas to power out of the turn. Instead of a smooth transition in and out of the turn, the car would carry more speed into the turn, quickly spin on its axis, then exit the turn at a higher velocity than conventional technique would allow!! Being able to do this turn after turn, lap after lap, was unbelievable!!!

[@akioasakura3624]

Beautifully explained. That’s his way of testing the car’s grip and balance. If you’ve done any powersliding aka “drifting”, u might have found urself unconsciously doing it. You can also check out videos of people sliding, and you will see that they do the same. The throttle blipping technique is exactly the same, Senna just took it to its highest most extreme form, with the precision required of an F-1 champion. I’ve also heard this story that senna wasn’t very good at motor skills, so as a young kid racing karts he had to compensate for that somehow, and that lead him to this technique. I don’t know how true that is though. Thank u for uploading 🔥🔥🔥

[@aufstrigende]

Senna would blip the throttle to unsettle the car mid corner which would allow it to rotate faster, also have a faster corner exit and to keep the car squatted

[@jhansenduca1478]

Isn't drifting and power sliding two different things? GT's and F1 (basically any grip racing) does power slide when going out of a corner.

[@akioasakura3624]

@@jhansenduca1478 basically, powersliding is any driving in which ur sideways with countersteering. most people call that drifting, although its technically wrong. the real definition of drifting is simply driving at the real limit of the car, it's the most grip u can get out of a car. dont confuse "powersliding" and "power oversteer", bcuz powersliding is a steady state in the middle of the turn type of behaviour, while power over is a way to get into a powerslide state

High RPM engines starts to push torque and HP at +11.000, so Ayrton kicks the throttle alongside the clutch to keep the engine in the exact RPM needed to exit the corner with maximum torque available

[@5uprnva]

lol wut. Every engine on the planet follows the same rule. Hp and to meet at 5252 rpm. the engine isn’t producing max torque at 11k rpm, torque has fallen off tremendously by that time. Kicks the throttle alongside the clutch? What does that even mean? He modulated the throttle because it was an old habit from kart racing, nothing more. Everyone tries to romanticize this story constantly. He was a great driver but far from the best.

[@lucky7s94]

It's rev matching. Keeps rotation of engine and input shaft mostly the same speed, so that it doesn't send a shockwave through the drivetrain that would cause a loss of traction. Engine braking is great where you can use it in place of the brakes. Any good driver is going to use that to his advantage

I think that Ayrton when using the accelerator like this in a curve what he achieved was to pass weight from back to front and get greater grip on the front axle. That is achieved by releasing the accelerator. Then he stepped again and passed the weight for the powertrain. I imagine that all this would be accompanied by subtle steering wheel movements in the moments when he released the accelerator and had grip on the front axle. It's a pity for so long that we can't ask him

[@MREnzoHerbie]

It’s similar to traction control where a computer allows you to floor the throttle, detects wheelspins, and cuts the power. Senna would blip the throttle, momentarily exceed the limit of traction, and come out of it. It probably helped him know the exact limit of traction coming out of a corner rather than relying on being as close to the limit as possible with progressive throttle application.

It is essentially a habit, just one that didn't have any significant downsides. Great driver

[@Chris__J]

He knows what he is doing

[@batuhan4002]

I used the same tehnique in Grid racing game damn didn't know Senna used too❤.

I was carting once and did something like this. Never had to touch the brake pedal on the course once during the race. Little did I know that technique was being used by anyone, let alone by such a legendary driver.

In trials riding you also blip the throttle. Helps keep grip on super loose ground and stops the track from being chewed out

Senna o cara. A f1 nunca mas teve um que fosse a metade dele.

[@nada-v4l3u]

Ayrton Senna o melhor piloto de F1 do mundo e muito querido aqui no Brasil

Sort of works in racing games too. Depending on the track, player conditions and experience level you can get some good lap times in real racing 3 from this.

Tap dance means he got bored really fast and just when he thought about quitting, he won! Never give up
