So here is another interesting spot that shows too little traction on a RWD RT, look at 11:25, 11:27 and 11:34 into the video,,,
11:25, seems not too bad, he just spins it while locking the front breaks,
11:27, but then after he has let go of the breaks, it takes a little too long to dig in and get going.
11:34, but here he just seems to be moderately accelerating from the stop, and it looses it for 1/2 sec
Also given the wide tires at the front and light loading, watch out for hydroplaining.
It's a beatiful build, but a death trap if an idiot drives it.
In other videos of RWD RT's, ones that do have more rear traction, there is the issue that during acceleration within a turn, the body rolls slighly. This reduces the rear tread compliance to the road. Then if it looses adheasion and slips, the body flatens out suddenly and regains the full patch on the ground, then grabs again. Then back to body roll. These shifts can happen inside segments of a second. All kinds of unpredictable behavior happens during those dynamic shifts that a driver cannot anticipate.
Full disclosure, lol, I just noticed comments by Detalidon Research under the video in YouTube.com. Ahhhmmm, He is Me.
