Ride with Cameron Waters from Monster Energy (Tickford Racing) as he takes on Mount Panorama with a camera mounted above his feet.
Watch his fancy footwork as he works the pedals around this 6.2km circuit in his V8 powered Ford Mustang Supercar.

That footwork is something to be inspired by.

[@LeafFerret]

Trying to do that for 2-3 hours is insane.

[@dibarel]

LeafFerret for these guys it becomes natural instinct

[@MinhLe-kt5zg]

Let alone 6 hours is just insane

[@anglegrinder8753]

Minh Le Not really 6 hours, because of the stints but yeah

[@neozone_hyrax.raw.]

I do it on gtsport, i usually race the gr4 mustang in cam’s livery, but the heel-toe is so easy after like couple weeks of learning it and getting the shift right

Either sports covering cameras have gone to cinematic level or virtual gaming graphics has gone parallel to cinematic level; bcoz for first one minute I thought someone's playing game with gaming pedals with cinematic view in corner. Kudos to both real life organizers and game creators.

[@BenMelluish]

Absolute fucking weapon!

[@ThePhoenixWylde]

Could someone fully explain what exactly he is doing with those very minor pushes of the brake pedal before the braking zone where he then properly pushes hard on the brakes?

[@SakaGames]

The brake tap serves 2 purposes. First, light pressure on the brakes will allow the brake pad to clean the disk of any small debris that may have stuck to the disk. Hot disks can cause tire rubber to stick to them, and any debris on the disk or pad will cause braking to not be 100% powerful. The other function is mental, as the driver feels the contact of the pad and the disk, and the driver knows when they get on the binders that the brakes are there. The driver can assess how much pad fade has occurred over the course of a race, and know how effective their brakes will be. If the driver pushes the pedal and nothing is felt, they can assume the brakes are not functioning and get the car slowed down with the compression from the engine and downshifts before the corner.

[@ThePhoenixWylde]

@@SakaGames Thank you for that, really good explanation. Never thought about how that slight push of the pedal could be used to clean the disk. And over a 1,000-kilometre race, having regular checks of how the brake pads ans disk are doing is no doubt paramount to knowing what kind of pace you can have.

[@SwingAxleLover]

It's also for pad knockoff. The brake pads can move away from the disk during hard cornering and using curbs. This would cause a soft pedal. The brake tap re-seats the pad.

[@erikdale9145]

@@SwingAxleLover it also primes and moves pistons to approach for thermal coefficients an drag all hydraulics experience

Can Anyone explain me why before he press the brake he touch the paddle shortly.? I hope you Understand the Question because i am not so good in English!

[@jasonwinback]

I read somewhere the it is to bring the brake pads closer to the rotors. Not sure if it true tho

[@ivanbelyanovjr.8025]

I think he checks for brake fluid

[@GodFootDaddyG]

Making sure you have brakes, wouldn't want to go full speed into a wall after a long straight.

wonder what his foot work looked like when mostert hit him

[@w47ch3r7]

How to get a foot fetish 101

[@johannessomera5672]

Why does he tap the breaks before turn? For performance or just to signal the drivers at the back?

[@ryanwhitlock7350]

I believe it's just making sure the brakes still work

[@mitchellrobinson9810]

Johannes Somera it’s because the pads get knock off down the straight from vibration and skimming on the rotor etc. etc. they just bring the pads back to where they should be so they don’t have a soft pedal in the big braking zones

[@bradlinsley8028]

Watch in slow motion, so you can see what goes on

[@hayzko7781]

Why is he touching brake by left foot like that?

[@mitchsmith9553]

So they only use the clutch on downshifts?

[@mesterorange8181]

Yup, many Race cars can do upshifts without having to use the clutch but to downshift they usually have to use It .

[@ShitHappensRLY]

seems like a racer's preference. some use clutch and some are fine with a throttle blip. Using clutch makes braking a little bit more stable especially on powerfull RWDs with sequential like Supercars which don't have auto blip as modern GT3 f.e., so there are less wheelspin because of gear ratio difference and less stress on the gearbox

[@ZeroSpawn]

Rev matching or blipping?

[@jianh1989]

ELI5 on 0:43 why is the driver blipping on brakes while on a straight?

[@danielholmes8141]

Jianh1989 Cameron waters needs too blip the throttle on the down changing so he matches the gear box revs and the engine revs if he doesn’t he will lock the rears and around he will go. One thing Cameron needs to be very careful when down changing is he does not want to go through the gears too early if you feed a gear too early in a V8 supercar it will have a compression lock and Cameron will spin around

[@jianh1989]

@@danielholmes8141 I was actually asking about the driver blipping the brakes twice with his left foot just before the deceleration, at 0:43.

[@dhedhekuncoro]

what's the brake tapping for?

[@lachychops2]

Moving the weight of the car forward maybe? Not too sure

[@ceejaybee86]

Probably to make sure there is still brake pressure before the end of the straight

To get the brake pads closer to the rotor before a braking zone

in 25 years I never thought to do this, tap the brake to correct for pad knockback. Brilliant! Just hope I don't get ice mode. Had that a couple times. Not fun.

[@ricardobatalha1522]

Can you please explain what you're saying I don't understand it.

[@justinbleickardt7106]

Why is there a tap of the brake pedal before each braking point?

[@pinderwagen]

If you take kerbs, you can get pad knockback, its where the pads are pushed further away from the disc than expected. That means when you do press the brake the pedal travel and response is not what you are expecting. The brief tap with the left foot is to pre-position the pads back to the usual position ready for the next hard brake.

[@southstar9529]

Ericb 506 also to check brake pressure so that they know if their brakes are working

[@Spyker8921]

[@samjames8690]

How do you dislike this. What’s wrong with people

[@bastien3652]

Can someone explain to me, so it’s a sequential gearbox, with clutch ? With auto cut throttle on upshifts but no auto blipping on downshifts ?

[@i_am_slow_7233]

Clutch to pull away and for downshifts. Theres a shiftcut so they can pull the gear through 100% throttle without lifting

[@bastien3652]

AutoFanatic101 Thanks it is strange. Do you know if it is for technical purpose or for rules reasons ? Still amazing cars, quite vintage but pure racing !

[@charlescdt6509]

Cool, but do you really need 2 feet to break or is that an Aussie thing?

[@plebtile3347]

Clutch isn't going to work itself.

[@zeNDoSC]

@aGuyCalledKen Oh! I thought these cars didn't really use the clutch. The more you know.

[@tilez273]

@@zeNDoSC sequential gearboxes only use the clutch to move from being stopped and downshifting

[@RussellAutosport]

Clutch isn’t necessary to downshift in these things. There are plenty of videos on KZbin of Supercars downshifting with left foot braking. I would imagine it’s either 1) Driver preference 2) To reduce shock loads on the transmission for a 1000km race

[@tilez273]

[@galileocomenge7044]

Anyone knows why is that little touch on the break with left food before a big break??? I saw it in many other drivers. Always after a big straight

[@jasontwitt4469]

They do it to bring the pads up to the face of the caliper so that when they brake it's an instant response. It's especially important in the enduro races because they run thicker pads.
