You don't need to use a clutch downshifting either, most drivers right foot brake but some left foot brake and use no clutch in V8 supercars ,there is no auto blip so you have to blip at the right moment if your not using the clutch, not using the clutch going down the gears in a dog box is a skill in itself. Shift time doesn't mean anything going down the gears anyway, it's usually smoother using the clutch as your more patient so you have a low chance of locking the rear wheels. The gearbox in a V8 Supercar is the same type as a GT3 car, GT3 cars have a clutch pedal but they never use it for downshifting as they are allowed auto-blip and that means miss shifting is impossible

If I remember well, it's to replace the brake pads; because of the vibrations it gets when going over a kerb or road imperfections at high speeds, the pads may be displaced (just a little bit). If I remember well this is the real explanation.
For people asking why he taps the brake on the straight it’s to warm the brakes and build fluid pressure to make sure it’s not soft going into the corner. More consistent pedal feedback that way.
Jake Heke no he’s not, how often do you race and for what series? Ive been racing for the last 6 years in both time attack and local challenge series. Do you even know what set back is or are you just reading the comments from other people then repeating what other people are to sound smart? They teach this in racing school, which I’ve taken a few. It keeps brake pressure up and in some cases keeps the pads in operating temp for maximum performance. When you run race pads too cold or too hot do not stop the car. They have to be with in a specific thermal range for maximum braking efficiency. Set back is in rare cases and isn’t needed for every turn, consistent brake pressure and temperature is. So please, don’t speak unless you actually know wtf you’re talking about. We have enough of that bs being spread around these comments already.
Both of you Mr. Jake & Mr. CK are nothing but PlayStation warriors. I checked both your channel for some footage of your racing careers and what ...... THERE'S NOTHING. I may be wrong so if I'm, prove it!
No he is correcting pad knock back. The pads move slightly out of place when cornering under heavy G forces. Pad knock back is a common thing, even happens in motorcycle racing. Danilo Petrucci for example, his front end started to wobble, knocking the brake pads out of place. Went to brake and felt nothing. Grabbed it even harder and crashed.
Corrie Gillett i dont know every single motorsport out there and dont know alot about those i know but afaik every single racecar, that ist not strictly run in automatic, requires a clutch for starting and stopping, other than that electronics or dog gears handle the rest my point is that im quite sure that most racecars have a clutch, even though it seems they go semi-auto (f1 for example)
Great capture of the foot work. Love that gear noise, it's the sound of precision engineering. I'll drive fast in reverse just to hear similar. Quick question these cars don't engine brake that well do they? Even with reduced revs the lightened internals and better machined parts means the reduced friction and lower weight has less of an effect, right?
Gunzee these cars actually thrive on engine brake, Well... Used to, Even the drivers who left foot brake will blip the throttle with their right foot to make sure they are braking the car with the RPM’s. It’s reasonably useful with these cars
Because G forces in a corner tend to push the brake pads away from the brake disc so before a braking zone the driver will tap the brakes to get the pads closer to the disk for a better braking
It’s to stop what’s called “pad knock off”. So you’re basically giving a slight bit of brake pressure to bring the pads back into contact with the rotors. Just insures you have instant bite.
Wowwww!! I never knew they had to manually match the revs when they chop down the gears like that! Exceptionally amazing driving! Crash box right? Sorry I dunno much about racing
Because G forces in a corner tend to push the brake pads away from the brake disc so before a braking zone the driver will tap the brakes to get the pads closer to the disk for a better braking
Car does not shift for him, he shifts every time. However, with that gearbox he doesn’t need to use the clutch at all for the gearboxes sake, however he needs it to maintain stability under braking. If he didn’t use the clutch and rev match, there would be a huge risk for a lock up in the rear and spinning out.
ThΞKnight because when they go over curbs the brake pads can be moved so they tap the brake pedal to push them back to the original spot, it’s also so they have confidence that the brakes will work when they hit them
Why is clutch only pressed on downshifts? Also, why does he tap the brakes a econd before full braking in a corner? To make forward weight transfer to initiate turn in?
All supercars run dog boxes, meaning that their shifts up are semi-automatic (Automatic clutch, driver still has to make shift), however they still engage the clutch for a more efficient/quicker downshift
Is it just me or do the Tickford cars sound different to what they used to? They used to have a very distinctive exhaust note, I noticed it was gone at Townsville...
I am guessing so and maybe some other changes? I have no clue but definitely something's different. They were struggling for HP so maybe thats why the change has happened...
McKevin Dauntless technically don’t have to use the clutch at all to shift up and down. Pretty sure he uses the clutch because he’s going down multiple gears at once
mainly to check that they have brake pressure before a heavy braking zone (QR has a fair few), also pumping the pedal so there is no slack when they need to brake, along with the added factor of pad knockback when they fly over curbs, the dab puts the pads back on the rotor
What is the purpose of that very gentle blip on the brakes usually prior to hard braking or on the straights? It doesn't even seem to engage the brakes / brake lights
kiran babu couple reasons, most likely just to flash the brake lights for the cars behind them so there’s no surprise hard braking. Probably just muscle memory or a good habit as nobody’s really chasing on this lap. It also can be to test for brake pressure through resistance in the pedal, makes sure you don’t get up to the turn at full bore and suddenly find yourself with a useless footrest in the pedal box
It’s cos when the cars go over kerbs it can push the brake pads out so he taps the brake to pull the back in, they also press it as a confidence thing so they know that the brakes will work
The rotors are floating and going over curbs and the G forces can move the calipers too far away from the rotor, so when they brake it takes longer. It just pushes the pad back to the rotor so when they brake, it works.
Because when they go over curbs the brake pads can sometimes get pushed away so they tap the pedal so that it returns to the original spot, they also do it so that they have confidence in the brake so they know that they will be able to stop
To make people no why they tap the breaks to reasons one to make brake pressure is there and if not let off early than at the brake point and reduce pace two to make sure the brake rotor is in a good position when they brake because of the bumps and forces going through the car don't distrupt to brake positioning
@@frise6183 absolutely not, it's to prevent the pad knock off, when running over curbs, and in general at high speeds with those levels of vibrations, the brake pads tend to detach from the disk, the brake tapping puts them back in place before the actual braking
Sam Kessler NASCAR should really go back to what they are if they want to win fans back. Stock production cars. Though these Supercar tourers are far from stock much like DTM.
Basically people are saying thay its either Making sure the brake pads are in position before braking Generating some heat before braking (i doubt this very much as the pad probably only contacts the rotor for like 1/1000th of a second) Or putting the rotor back in place Or making sure theres brake pressure Look basically hes making sure theres gonna be something there when he hits it
Yeah there is u can see his left foot depress it when he shifts down, he doesn’t need it when shifting up as these cars have a dog box which means they don’t need a clutch to shift up but they need to let off the throttle but in these cars they have a system that automatically pulls the throttle off when they select a gear meaning that they can flat shift
Rev matching If you dont the speed of the engine is lower tham the speed of the wheels, one will have to change speed, putting stress on components and destabilising the car.
It's to make sure the pads are close to the discs before needing to brake properly. When you ride the kerbs you get what is called pad knock off where the pads move away from the disc so when you come to brake the pedal travels far further than normal which is not good at all. I have it had happen to me twice and it wasn't until the second time I actually realised what was going on.
He's checking if he got brakes, brakes pad ok, no noises coming from the frontal suspension... Lot of speed - No braking? = Accident ... Checking before the brake point = A chance to do something.
@@Anusrudh123456789 that didnt answer his question lol Okay so when you go to the lower gear the engine speed needs to go up because the hearing has changed, and the easiest way to make the engine go faster? Just give the throttle a stab in the middle of the shift, then the engine speed and wheel speed match and the car is happy.
In race conditions like this the brake pads can get pushed back away from the rotors under cornering, tapping the brakes lightly simply pushes the pads back against the rotors so you have strong and predictable braking
I'd have thought racers would have stronger, more protective boots...never really being aware how much subtlety is used by all the surfaces of the feet. Makes sense they would be like gloves on the foot. Is this a cause of so much feet/leg injuries in crashes, or is it more just that the feet are the closest thing to the wall? Would beefier footwear even matter?
Not really. Drivers want very thin shoes to have more sensitivity on the feet. Current cars are extremely safe, only in extreme crashes their feet hit the wall
@@Ofitus21 yeah, i guess i was thinking more of the older days with hearing of leg injuries, but i guess boot type was the least of the safety concerns those guys faced .
corrathexplora in a V8 supercar when you tap the brake pedal before the braking zone it pushes the brake pads up to the disc face and it gives you better pedal pressure because the one thing you never want to have in a V8 supercar is a long pedal a long pedal is when the pedal goes all the way to the floor and the drivers absolutely hate long pedals
@@skyline5265 yeah, I am just too afraid to break my car. That is why I never learned. My old stearing wheel for pc had only 2 pedals. Maybe some day I will buy one to learn it
Pad knockoff, so everytime he hits a corner and/or kerbs, specially sausage kerbs, the pads are going to be fired away from the disc because the pads will hit the disc and get jostled out of place, so the tapping of the brake is to bring the pads back into position, otherwise the braking will be delayed and by the time you get to the corner, you're still going 170km/h
The reason is pad knock-back. Happens with hard Gs and flying over curbs. The dabs put the pads back to the rotors so he has a proper pedal when he reaches the braking zone, or you risk a super spongy pedal.
Exemplary smooth driving. Very smooth transitions coming off the brakes.
Feels like watching art right? Silky Smooth
I know it's easier said than done... But he could be a bit more agressive on the throttle.

Yeah tallica55 is correct. It’s just to make sure they have brake pressure

I have never learned the heel toe technique. It is too hard for me. Maybe I am too dumb?
I don’t drive irl yet, but with my steering wheel it was a pain. After a while though you start to do it without thinking.
@@skyline5265 yeah, I am just too afraid to break my car. That is why I never learned. My old stearing wheel for pc had only 2 pedals. Maybe some day I will buy one to learn it
What’s with the mid-straight brake taps?
Pad knockoff, so everytime he hits a corner and/or kerbs, specially sausage kerbs, the pads are going to be fired away from the disc because the pads will hit the disc and get jostled out of place, so the tapping of the brake is to bring the pads back into position, otherwise the braking will be delayed and by the time you get to the corner, you're still going 170km/h
Is he pumping the brakes ?
Why the brake stabs at WOT ?
The reason is pad knock-back. Happens with hard Gs and flying over curbs. The dabs put the pads back to the rotors so he has a proper pedal when he reaches the braking zone, or you risk a super spongy pedal.
Shane Jackson thanks
ストレートで小刻みにブレーキ踏むのは何してるの？

Is practicing this on a normal car ok?
As in changing gear while acc & braking same time
Yes, it's called "heel and toe" and actually benefical for your car health. Doesn't matter if it is a racer car or daily road car.
I am in awe, That is phenomenal:o
What’s rev cutting?
Cars are limited to 7500 RPM's, so when it reaches it at the end of the straight it cause the engine to cut back so it does not blow up.
