any car can do this.
@MrMetabolism the clutch has even less use these days as their fitted with a sequential box with a reconfigured shift cut. Greg Murphy and Fabian Coultard are 2 drivers that spring to mind that never use the clutch
@11thacrASSASSIN its called heal toeing look it up
That tourqey sound at like 1 minute is so epic in the low revs. What a car! 4.9L @ 620 HP!!!
nice heel toe technique you got there
you can do that even on street cars, but it takes some time to master the foot movements.
What do you V8 fanatics think of the return of the other car manufacturers like Mercedez, Audi etc back into the V8 championship again? Would it be a good or bad move?
I’m kinda on the fence on this one.
Wrong.
The supercars run a very small switch on their gear shifters. As the gear shifter is moved, it enables the switch, cause the spark to be cut to the engine. THAT is what allows the torque to come off the gearbox, and therefore be pulled out of gear.

can somebody explain a bit about what situations you would blip throttle or clutch to shift and what situation you can just rely on the shifter gauge and computer?
super sequential gear box
FOR THE WIN!!!!!
i love my smg m3
I believe these are actually 305ci which is exactly 5.0 litres. a 308ci holden is slightly over 5.0 but not quite 5.1.. so calling a 305ci motor a 4.9 is incorrect. do your calculations
what kind of messed up tranny is this, this must be old technology…like 2004
It’s a dog box and y is he taping brake with left foot a few secs b4 he gets on the brake
@TheRebelCSA I think the reason he’s tapping the brakes is to pressurize the brakes to reduce the time between his foot pressing the pedal and the brakes actually functioning. Some modern cars, like Volvos and even Ferraris, use the same sort of system of pressurizing the brakes once the throttle is lifted off, to improve brake responsiveness for safety and performance respectively.
its Neil Crompton’s feet at qld raceway.
@TheRebelCSA because when you jump over the curbs very fast it happens that the brake pads get far from the disk. he is just making sure the next brake the pedal will not travel to the floor with no pressure. (sry for my english)
@silentsmokey steering work and pedal work become second nature afer you have done it for years
Hey There!

@uteboy350 Crompton never drove for HRT.
Even though they are synchromesh boxes it places huge strains on the synchro gears if you try and force the box into second from fifth at 200kph. Try it your own car, shifting from fifth to first at 100kph. I assure you, you will have great difficulty and youll hear the gearbox whine like mad as the synchros try to speed up the input shaft to match the rpm of the output shaft.
At 0:13 you see him clutch, and then slightly lift the clutch as he blips the throttle. This is done as the shifter goes through the neutral slot on the down shift and it gives the gear box a quick spin lifting its rpm in order for him to select a gear maybe two or three gears lower than he was in. Youll see him do it repeatedly on rapid downshifts.
As far as the tapping of the brake pedal goes, its purely to reassure the driver he has brakes. Not every driver does it. Some just have faith that when they hit the pedal all will be good.
The only way a caliper piston can regress back into the caliper housing is by being pushed back by the rotor. Rotors DONT flex. So it would mean that the rotor is warped, in which case the brakes would vibrate so much under hard braking that the driver would be forced to pit.
For starters its impossible to know what gear he is in at any given time but it does appear that hes clutching every second shift. This would correspond with crossing gates between 2nd 3rd, 4th 5th, as stated.
he taps the brake just befor coming into the braking zone to get the pressure up in the peddle….this is so when he brakes for the corner the peddle has full pressure and it doesnt travel as far down
