Smart man, launching a car that’s not your own 😂
as much as this video explains how to do it, some people still need to actually try it for themselves to understand how it’s done.
The TopGear way to launch a car
Really a 10 minute video to explain launching - stick to the engineering part
You’re goong down a hill though!
In regards to the AWD turbo launch, his method will destroy your gear box, what you should do is put it in first, hold the handbrake and ride the clutch simultaneously, then once you build boost and the drivetrain is loaded up, release the handbrake then clutch and add throttle, don’t do it too long or you burn your clutch so timing and practice is key. This will give you a smooth launch with minimal damage
7:46 lol, tracktion control off, “so that won´t interfere at all”. That thing never really go off
Official 0-62 time: 10sec self tested: 9.5 sec. 2.0i N/A 1996 with a little wheelspin in second gear. the Video is nice but wasn’t anything new for me, because i am driving manual gearboxes and frontwheeldrives since im driving cars.
I think the Drift King said that for 4WD cars the best launch comes from 2nd gear @ around 5,000 rpms. Could starting in second at higher rpms actually be better ?
