Automobile configuration needs explanation on various part of the vehicle. We need to talk all about the interior, exterior, differentials, mechanics, electricals, design, body etc of the car. We will discuss about the configuration of your cars here :
Smoothness is the key to good race driving and this can certainly be achieved by the proper use of brake and accelerator. Relatively, only low levels of a braking and accelerating only happens on the street, compared to the capability of the car. The traction limit of the tires are very rarely maxed out. It’s [...]
Many may be thinking shifting is a no-brainer function, but in a race/sport where the difference of winning a position is may be 1/100th of a second, every detail counts. This discussion is to point out how to use the gear shifter, and here we are assuming the use of a typical H-box shifter gear [...]
A Visual Aid For Steering Right! The proper hand positions are 3:00 and 9:00 with the thumbs wrapped around the ring resting on the crossbrace, the palms cupping the outer diameter of the ring, and the heels of the palm applying a light pressure to the front of the wheel. The grip should be relaxed–just [...]
Drifting techniques are to be initiated in two different ways depending on whether you have a front wheel drive or a rear wheel drive car. The first drifting technique is, depress the clutch and gear down into second gear while approaching a corner or bend, and rev the engine to about 4000-5000 RPM. While you come [...]
Depending on whether you have a front or rear wheel drive car, drifting can be initiated in two ways. The first method is, depress the clutch and gear down into second gear while approaching a corner or bend, and rev the engine to about 4000-5000 RPM. While you come up, slightly turn the steering wheel [...]
What is drifting? Basically, drifting is intentionally oversteering your car sideways down a road. It sounds a lot like power sliding (for all those who aren’t familiar with this term I had explained in this post) huh? Well it isn’t. It’s much more complex. Instead of a drifter initiating a drift and then correcting it [...]
Drag racing is like extracting the maximum acceleration out of the car. Generally, a drag race is done between two cars in an acceleration contest from a standing start through an exact distance on a special racing track. Drag racing tournament consists of a series of two-car eliminations. In India, usually an empty straight road [...]
