*To keep the lead.


FenrirBestDoggo

Seems like the other 2 were deliberately slower to take the turn normally. On the other hand the mc driver could go full gas for longer bcs of this manoeuvre slowing them down enough


I-C-Aliens

> mc driver Is that like a McDouble or like M.C. Driver dropping the fat beats?


FenrirBestDoggo

LMAO didnt know how to say the driver the video was about, so I made them the main character


I-C-Aliens

Ooooh Main Character I was way off


CtheKiller

I like mcdouble driver better though


Mpuls37

To be fair, with skill like that, homie is definitely the protagonist


WolfmansGotNards2

They caught up to him on the turns too, but you know what they say (if he won). Winning's winning.


NinjaChenchilla

But he had the lead when he hit his hand brake, that is the point the other person was saying.


flamedrifter

it was right at the start of the race so gaining the lead is accurate


Division2226

No, they already had the lead while performing the maneuver. Thus, it was keeping the lead. It's not that difficult to understand.


afwsf3

They had the lead specifically because they pulled the maneuver. This is the start of the race. The other two cars don't take off/accelerate to as high a speed because they aren't planning on pulling such a stunt and need to be at a low speed to take their turn. I don't think you know much about racing.


Abject_Film_4414

Sir, I have a phd in Reddit and I’m now a stock owner. I know much about everything.


Division2226

Having the lead means you're ahead, which the driver had before "pulling the handbrake". I don't know what magical definition you're trying to create.


DoingCharleyWork

Once the race starts there is a leader as soon as they aren't in an even line anymore. Some races have a leader before the race even starts. They were ahead of the other cars going into the turn which means they were already in the lead. They did that maneuver to keep the lead and extend it a little further. They are also going to take off and accelerate as much as possible, they will just brake sooner. You sound dumb as shit to be honest.


Naustis

Dude. Taking a lead means going from X place to first place. He was leading the race when he did the move. Wth are you even trying to argue here


NZBound11

The title doesn't state "maneuver", it states "pulling handbrake". That doesn't happen until they already have the lead.


-Lakrids-

In motorsport commentary, oftentimes a driver hasn't really taken the lead until they can cement it because in many cases you can pass a leading car for one corner and immediately lose it (the 'lead' and control of your own car) because they slowed down to get a better driving line for the next corner while you braked extremely late and (in some cases) locked your brakes in order to get ahead in the first place. Ericsson kept his foot on the throttle whereas the other two were braking and trying to hug the insider of the corner which is why he blew past them.


Zeroth1989

You still take the lead. Commentator will say you are in second because you entered a series of chicanes on the inside line for first taking the lead from the car beside you. On second part of the chicane you are on the outside and the inside car takes the lead if you are side by side. They still note the position swap and at the first stage they always remark about whether or not they can make the position change stick on the exit of the next part of the chicane. Even in this case Ericsson went to P2 mid corner. After being in P1 at corner entry. His better exit lets him take the lead thanks to this entry. So he still takes the lead due to the slide. Without getting ahead before the entry and doing this slide he would of been P2 at exit due to not having the inside line and had to keep speed longer for the slide to work due to not being on the outside of the grid either with the other car potentially blocking. They used the slide to take the lead off the race


[deleted]

The other two started braking for the turn while he just kept it floored for 1sec longer then whipped that bitch 180 and used the bank to brake then accelerate him 


cwra007

Thank you


MexicanWarMachine

Video seems to end immediately before the guy who refrained from pulling that stunt three times in a row unceremoniously overtakes him.


Toad-a-sow

He got close but dude stayed in the lead til the checker


flamedrifter

watched the video, kept the lead until they split off and gained a 10 second lead and wins this maneuver was right off the start too [Race ](https://youtu.be/F4NgRD84FCc)


Returd4

Thank you for sharing that, that was awesome, that drone operator deserves a raise.


salsqualsh

It seems as though they can do one shortcut lap per race. He did his 1st and the follower did his last. He got the 10 second gap from the shortcut lap. Still won, but by less than a second, after follower caught up almost all the time through their shortcut lap


Lord_of_Lemons

Close it's an all electric Rallycross class so instead of taking a short cut, he didn't take the Joker lap at the same (mandatory section you take once per race that is an extended layout of the track). He was able to just gain that much of a lead when he does take the Joker he keeps position.


DoingCharleyWork

Thanks I was wondering why they turned different directions there.


Agent_Chody_Banks

He only gets farther ahead by the end of the race

Glad some people realized the true hero there. Chasing cars with FPV drones may be easy, but flying that good to let it look like this takes a lot of practice.

Juan_Kagawa

I was 100% certain this was forza, im still not sure.


EarthEaterr

I think it's a game or something. The lighting on the top of the cars doesn't quite look right and In the second turn I noticed there's no dust coming from the front tires.


InclinationCompass

I thought it was a game too but everyone else seems to think it's real. Is it really nextfuckinglevel if it's a video game?


EarthEaterr

Honestly the first turn doesn't make sense to me. The dude that took the wide turn and the one that took the tightest turn are both essentially at the same speed coming out of the turn.. Why did the one guy's card take off like a rocket as opposed to the inside guy. People are saying it's because he went into the turn faster, but that doesn't make sense to me, If you're leaving to turn at the same speed. Also, If this was a viable method, would not all professional racers do this?


toooft

Can't wait for video games to actually look like this. Next gen we should be there.. almost


Buydipstothemoon

Crazy huh? Google FPV Drone. These are drones that transmit the camera view to goggles similar to the VR ones, but with less field of view. However you can do crazy things with FPV drones in "acro mode". The pros fly with a GoPro that is mounted on the drone for even more cinematic footage in 4k or 5,3k.


SirDoober

Own_Courage_4382

Was not 102


BicycleEast8721

Why do you say that? 7-8 seconds full throttle in a rallycross car on a downslope…100 wouldn’t surprise me at all. After doing some pausing of the video before the turn, it looks like it’s moving about 8-10 car lengths per second. That’s 120-150ft/s = 80-102mph. It’s in the range of 102. In the racing world, in a low 2k #s car with a highly modified turbo awd powertrain that’s really not that absurd. Maybe they braked some before initiating the slide, but the peak speed before turnin would have been well over highway speed limits

jcbmths62

Explain this move in NFL terms, please.


ExcitingEye8347

He pulled the ole Barry Sanders on em


ultratunaman

Normally, the handbrake wouldn't be used on a turn like this. The normal strategy would be to go for the inside line, hit the brakes at the correct point, downshift, work the brake and throttle to maintain revs, then once you're through the apex of the corner you throttle down and upshift on out. This guy decided on some super late, extra heavy braking technique. Which doesn't always pay off. He went way wide and sideways. Which again could have all gone wrong easily. The handbrake locks up the rear wheels, meaning with hard turning and handbrake, you lose traction at the rear and rely on momentum pulling you through sideways. Handbrake drifting like this is how people get front wheel drive cars to do a pseudo drift. But because he nailed it dead on, came out of the slide facing the right way, he could just downshift, power forward, upshift, and out. Cutting off the inside line from the outside. The late braking giving him that extra momentum to pass at the beginning of the corner. It looks sloppy, but it's a clean pass. And I don't think you'd be able to complete a similar move on tarmac. Only the dirt or a rainy track would be slippy enough to get it just right.


ColoradoScoop

So in NFL terms, he threw a surprise lateral to his teammate who scored a TD.


ruffcontenderfanny

Yeah, it’s like laterals in the snow because it’s madness on the field. this is also just an epic example of a “skandi flick”, where you enter your turn early, sliding your weight early, and pointing straight in your exit direction. It doesn’t work on all surfaces, but in the right circumstances, it’s a goated strategy.

PstainGTR

I remember in my old trackdriving days when I had a dedicated driftcar and the first time i chucked my car sideways at the end of the long straight on one of the tracks i used to drive on. I chucked/flicked it out at 170km/h and in reality it probably was more 150km/h but it really made my butthole pucker up. That was on tarmac with a car that was made for going sideways so doing that on gravel with low grip and a very very expensive car must really fuck with your mind the first couple of times.

How do they handle the drone filming? High performance drones usually only have about a 10-20 minute battery life. I just assume they have a bunch of pilots and drones ready to tag in when the one filming runs low on power.

i was bored and did a bit of research. The key difference in those cars that they are electric. While his move is straight up dumb in petrol, or even hybrid car, in electric one he essentionally minimize the ev worst part, which is weight and maximize the ev best part - acceleration. So cudos for him not just for driving good, but also driving smart.
