Last lap of the week end. Very lucky to get a clean lap without traffic, I was going for probably under 8min20.... but not enough petrol in the tank, car stopped to accelerate after Karroussel 2

Anyone who says FWD cars can't handle needs to watch this. It's completely neutral with almost no understeer. The front end has so much grip without resorting to dreaded understeer. The first time it truly understeered wasn't until @7:28, when the tires were probably getting pretty greasy/too hot. A huge benefit of FWD is the ability to claw out of corners too. That's why I love my MINI. On paper they don't look all that fast. Then you drive one and realize you can pretty much go flat out, all the time. The gear ratios are perfectly spaced. And yes, they're fast. ~220 hp in a 2,700 lb car is more than enough to keep up with just about anything out in the real world (i.e not a drag strip). Mustangs, M3's, 350Z's ect. I do it ALL the time ha ha.
@AndrewGeierMelons7 жыл бұрын
di foo!! - there are so many tricks to make FWD handle well, you're absolutely right. I explain some on my channel.
@cwakadrake6 жыл бұрын
Actually that corner on the ring is a point where almost any type of car will understeer. Due to that a lot of driver's crash because they tend to lift the throttle when getting understeer, resulting in snap oversteer.
