Somtimes during instances of 'driver induced' hydroplaning, with a front wheel drive, applying more throttle is the only way out. I call that a FWD Powerslide. Going back to what started this particular tangent discussion in this thread, to say that sometimes a FWD (or RWD) powerslide can help rega...

The weight tra...

Unfortunately, at this stage, I'm not coordinated enough to do a rev match downshift. What happens is that when I push in the clutch to downshift, my rpms drop and I have to watch the tachometer while pressing on the gas pedal. At this time, I am unable to watch the road. I just want to know how to...

My wife is used to it by now. :twisted: If you're going to race, do it on a track - without your girlfriend in the car. :) We no longer have a drag or circuit track in my country (the...

All cars (unless you defeat it) lock out the starter to ensure the engine is disconnected from the wheels before cranking the engine.
