ripped_fear Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 R...... Joking i havent seen it anyway. cool vid but were they driving with their brakes on? Brake boosting in other words cheating, still a good vid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 in other words cheating Hows brake boosting cheating? its a technique so why not use it if you can, i don't see how one can cheat when racing in a straight line, short of jumping early??

Dim Sum Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What exactly is brake boosting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 What exactly is brake boosting? They use the brake to slow themselves down but counter this by using the accelerator to load up the engine creating more boost, when they are ready they release the brake and floor it. It is a great way to build up boost on a rolling start and also a great way to munch through brake pads / discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this man said, seen some crazy vids where the discs are glowing and sparks are flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are doing it alot it would be well worth investing in some carbon ceramic discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think brake boosting was what helped munch my gearbox. One to be careful of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think brake boosting was what helped munch my gearbox. One to be careful of! Could be, its very hard on the car, Ive killed a lot of diffs left foot braking on rolling burnouts. Your box did come out of a drag car though.

Pig Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I had a small issue/grind when changing into 3rd at wot for a long time which was gradually getting worse. Got a lot worse after discovering boost braking, could just be a coincidence. Won't stop me doing it! The box had selection issues when I got it so often got 3rd instead of 5th. Another great way to kill a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If they are doing it alot it would be well worth investing in some carbon ceramic discs. I don't think many could afford or justify the $30,000 asking price tbh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
