That other Z4 was a total beast, overtook this guy twice and then passed both R8s on the straight!

[@Kalamede]

I dont understand that kind of mix between brake and throttle when braking or when downshifting, it's about weight transfers?

[@TomiShadowrun]

nope, but the engine revs to make the shift smoother and to make the gearbox and clutch lasts longer, I assume that the throttle graph doesn't show the pedal movement, but the amout of petrol going into the engine

[@Kalamede]

it would be nonsense to show the petrol going to the engine and not the pedal movement but it would answer my question

[@SignoreMassimo]

Kalamede The sensor shows neither. It will show the position of the actual throttle flap(s) in the intake system. The car rev-matches automatically when it downshifts (i.e. the throttle flap opens briefly) to allow for clean and fast shifts (you don't need to wait for gear synchronisation in fact race boxes don't have syncro rings = weight saving) and it also (as you mentioned) avoids upsetting the car through excessive weight transfer.

[@Kalamede]

SignoreMassimo interesting, thanks for your response

[@SignoreMassimo]

Kalamede No worries :) Yeah it's interesting stuff indeed. Check out the famous Walter Rohrl onboard video. You'll see him rev-match manually back in the days when the dog boxes didn't have paddles.

warum klingt das wie ein elektromotor?

[@NemesisLooL]

Renngetriebe sind gerade verzahnt, deshalb. Der Rückwärtsgang in nem Straßenauto auch (gleiches Geräusch).

[@mbeezy6947]

Was bringt das?

[@yoloswagrofl2230]

Lino Wathy Bessere Kraftübertragung

[@mbeezy6947]

ok danke

[@ReflectedArts]

+NemesisLooL normale gfetriebe sind doch auch komplett gerade verzahnt? motorradgetriebe auch...warum klingen die dann nicht so extrem? ich hab noch kein schrägverzahntes autogetriebe gesehen

[@DriveLongRoad]

akkustisch klingt der wagen wie eine defekte e-lok. :)

[@mbeezy6947]

Eine defekte kling gar nicht mehr

[@sixpest]

random ford gt.
