Quite often subtitled in english, but even without, very entertaining watching even if you can't understand a word. Just let the cars do the talking.

It seems to me useless and a waste of time I haven't yet watched the video, but one reason to do as you describe is to set up the car for cornering. If you just touch the brake for a moment just before a turn, it momentarily shifts the weight of the car forward, which puts more weight over the front wheels, which improves traction. > regards from Spain from a 94' MB Roadster and future 996 owner (hope so) > forgive my bad english also Your English seems very good to me. I'm sure it's better than my Spanish. Ed |
