The Q wasn't addressed to you, but I have another one for you - can you do a wheelie?

only using the clutch... and up to second. cannot do a stoppie though.. locked the front last time i tried so i quit because it was expensive.

Δεν εχει μυαλο και ουτε προκειτε να αποκτησει ποτε του... γελοιοτητες.

Oh, this is addressed to me? No, I haven't, I just drive normal road car.

Thanks for the answer.

Someday I'll let you do it to get the feeling and the difference to a road car.
If you wish to!

A new spin of thinking is guaranteed.

Good one:

Peter Taylor (@peter8171) asks: ‘How different does the car feel when running diagonally split tyres, studs and softs, between left-hand and right-hand corners?’It’s very strange, and difficult to explain – but bear with me! It depends how you cross them. Let’s say you have studs on the left-front and right-rear, and slicks on right-front and left-rear. If you turn into a right-hander with the studs on the outside, you’re going to get big understeer, so you always have to be aware of that. But then weirdly, you get quite good grip from the rear, because the slick is on the outside.
And then it’s the other way round on a left-hander; you’ve good turn-in but as you apply the throttle at the apex or before you’re going to get into immediate oversteer because the studded tyre can’t hold up. It does make it challenging for your brain, you have to make that calculation every time. You always have to give yourself that margin. It’s incredible challenging to drive, and that’s on a dry road; when you get mud, ice, gravel, snow, patchy ice, it can all feel different again. But generally that’s the trend. It’s one of the strengths of someone like Sebastien Loeb, who knows so well what the car’s going to do and can quickly adapt. It does take a while to get used to, and this weekend was a big learning curve because we had every condition possible.

Thanks for that, but no, thank You Generally I think the laws of physics apply everywhere. We must have asked Mr. Einstein for the time factor perhaps, I'm sire it has some value

My opinion to RK´s last off: Robert simply braked too late.

If the pedal gets soft the driver would try to pump it, but we see no flashing brake lights or brake lights at all before it is too late.

And in the moment the brake lights flash on, the tyres are locked up immediately (all 4 tyres) but it is too late...

If Robert had tried the handbrake the rear wheels only would have locked up.

Is here somebody who has another theory?

[danon]

he had a lot of practise to elarn them last year... seems he enjoys finding his limits too much... rallying is not for him. It is getting dangerous.

the beginning is always difficult... and costly (Kubica case).
but one day... you'll do the stunts like a pro, bro - >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJJAdYcXr08

Notice the front wheel!

We should discuss this no more. Some people might get frustrated, loose their minds, it is not healthy You know. I sensible man could immediately see the difference between car problem, and driver problem.

we dont know plenty of things to have a conclusion.
such cases are not so simple to judge without know all the parameters.
