[@Kris_T_]

In very basic terms a jet is just a fire in a tube, and because it's in a tube, the force of the exhaust pushes out one end (and pulls air in the other), thus providing thrust. A gas turbine, is a fire inside half a Turbo, but instead of (or in addition to) using it to turn a compressor stage, it can be used to turn an output shaft to just about anything you want to spin, like a wheel, or a rotor blade, or a ducted fan. Now if you power a fan on the front, AND stick a fiery-tube/jet on the back, you have a turbo-fan with afterburner. The problem with them, is the don't rev up & down very quickly, so you get very poor throttle response for land vehicle applications.

[@TestingPyros]

Turbo prop vs direct thrust.

[@McMedics]

Oddly, I've found every McLaren I've pushed hard tends to UNDERSTEER, and everyone agrees they'd prefer less of that. To combat that, getting away from Pirelli's helps, 15mm spacers helps a little, and wider tires clears up the rest. I haven't driven a Senna hard yet, so maybe I'll find otherwise with it when I'm able to.

[@jameswillard1]

600LT on Trofeo R’s is the best handling production vehicle I’ve driven on track right out of the box. Much, much less understeer than the 570S I had driven previously but yes, overall Mclaren’s do have some understeer mainly due to their relatively front narrow tires that are chose due to the better feedback they provide

[@McMedics]

@@jameswillard1 600LT's have a wider front tire than 570's, from the factory. 10mm wider 🙂

[@TestingPyros]

All jet engines are turbines. However, the ones that are in race cars aren't direct thrust cars. Those are typically ONLY LSR vehicles, as the thrust required causes SEVERE damage to the track and nearby vehicles. The turbines (jets, really the same thing in the end) in race cars are turbo-prop style engines. As was found in Donald Campbell's LSR car with the 30" or larger wheels that he wrecked at Bonneville. And the one that you have pictured at about 2:20 in the video. If you need more explanation, I can add it. However, this should give you plenty to look up if are interested enough to google it.

[@billymayshere6128]

A turbine engine is a jet engine which drives a shaft of some sort depending on application. Think an Apache or an M1 Abrams both turbine powered.

Re: turbines vs jets - they are more or less the same thing. A jet engine generates thrust by blasting combustion gasses directly out the back. A turbine spins something by blasting those gasses across an impeller/fan. It's not a huge difference mechanically, but what they're doing with the power is slightly different.

[@VashSpiegel]

The difference between a turbine jet engine that would be in an aircraft and the turboshaft engine that would be in the car is the turbojet engine uses thrust coming out of the exhaust to propel the aircraft forward. The turbo shaft uses the turbine engine to turn a shaft that would be connected to a gearbox to drive the wheels.

Perhaps one reason why the Senna was set up "loose" is because all the British journalists criticised the MP4-12C because it didn't step out all the time. They claimed because of that it wasn't fun. I believe after that McLaren supplied the cars with Whoopie Cushions to prove they had a sense of fun! But going sideways isn't quick, and on public roads there's really nowhere you can do that safely. I'd much rather have a car which drove on rails and gave me confidence.

[@johnsim3722]

@Alex Alexander-Anderson I'll have a look at that website, thanks. One of the cars that British automotive journalists keep bleating on about being a "driver's car" is the Caterham, essentially a modern Lotus 7. I'm too tall to fit comfortably in these cars so never looked at them. Then I seen them on a track and the rear was all over the place. They'd be much quicker if it didn't step out on every single corner. When you see how awful it is you realise that all those journalists are full of BS. And when you get a go on a track with something far more planted you learn what is better too.

Jet engines are "generally" the same idea. More a matter of afterburner. They don't make a ton of thrust without one, hook that to a gearbox and you have power at the wheels. Put an afterburner on one and you have big thrust numbers and no need for power to the wheels. I'm not an "expert" but that's how I've been taught the difference. Additional info is appreciated!

[@russelljacob7955]

Late to the party, but for Randy, difference between turbine power and Jet power... A Jet uses a turbine to expel high pressure/velocity air/water out a nozzle to create thrust. IE, the pressure you feel pushing back on you. The turbine part of the jet is actually a set of turbine fans on the front that compress the air to back. A turbo-jet vs turbo-prop is a turboprop uses a normal propeller thrust vs this air thrust. A turbine car? Well imagine a transmission where that propeller is. The turbine part? Well, that is behind these fan/trans/prop, where you have a compressor fan to ignites the fuel into the turbine fan... imagine a turbocharger where compressor impeller put air directly to the exhaust turbine blade and a fuel injector in between. It is why turbines got that cool start up sound. They need to get spinning to get that air compression. Only then can they give the fuel, else back surges.
