Good explanation of the technique. I'm curious, why do you guys drive in those heavy work boots? I would figure something lightweight and thin-soled like a racing shoe or trainer would help with pedal action and what have you.
they have an explanation in a older video. if i remember corectly its because they are not only sitting in the car but walk around in the dirt there a lot
@@sebbb7 yeah, they said it's good to get used to driving in shoes you might have to wear for the outdoor conditions (unless you're required to wear race shoes)
The objective of a pendulum turn is to get the car rotated before the corner. With this kind of turn, you're already accelerating mid corner. With the handbrake, the car is rotated much later in the corner, meaning less exit speed. Over the course of a stage, carrying more speed and hitting the gas earlier will always be faster. Handbrake is mostly used to correct mistakes, it's only faster in situations where you have to come to a complete stop.
Also a ebrake turn is less consistent since how much you turn on a ebrake turn depends on a million factors. Pluss you have to slow down more before the turn, and wait longer to acelerate after the turn. Its also very easy to over do it and spin
Hand brake turns are generally a little less predictable and not an ideal technique for an all wheel drive platform like this Subaru. Hand brake turns are also best suited to lower speed corners.
The "turn in" step is confusing to me. Based on my previous understanding of the Scandinavian Flick, plus what I can see in the video, he is clearly NOT turning IN. Rather, he throws the wheel in the opposite direction when he says "turn in," then turns it back left down the hill. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here though?
The turn in references the initial l steering input to right to get the rotation started in the opposite direction of the corner. This stores up some energy so that when you turn back to the left, the car will rotate all the way around the corner. Definitely a lot of inputs in a short amount of time!
@@Teamoneilrally Thanks for this reply, I have another question regarding another video that Wyatt did about trail braking. In his example he executes the turn then shifts on the exit. But everything I'm learning about racing Miatas on road tracks, says the downshifting happens before the turn. Is this a difference between road/off-road racing/driving?
@@damyanovasen scandi flick is basically what was demonstrated here. Load up the suspension with the brake and steering going the wrong way, throw all that potential energy into yawing the car the other way and scrub off momentum with under/neutral steer on the way out.
Ive done this for a while on abandoned gravel roads and ive never known the name for them haha. But ive always had a good feeling of how to be faster on gravel im thinking about starting actuall rally but its expensive af were im from, any tips to get started? and is it too late to become a pro at age 19? I have been driving atv and cross from age 5 so i think thats were my feeling for gravel has been developed
Can I do this on FWD ?? On only on AWD ? ..Cause in FWD After turning back the steering wheel I need to give gas to regain traction on the back ...if I use the brake I continue to have all the load on the front and so I don't stop sliding...someone can answer?
Thank you Wyax (forgive me, I'm slowly transitioning) excellent instructional video.
What happened to wyatt?

@@sebbb7 Yeah that would make sense. Appreciate you
The gravel and mud is hard on footwear out here, driving shoes wouldn't hold up too well.
Thank you, Max!
Awesome breakdown Max. Ty!
A great demonstration like usual. Curious to know if the engine has a factory oil pan or an aftermarket one w/ baffling?
Buy the killer bee pan and pick up I just blew my wrx up last month starved either cylinder 1 or 3 rod bearings and it started knocking
They did a video on the modifications they generally do to prep their cars. I think you should check that out

We do stick with Factory oil pan on the Subarus.
Thank you sir. Easy to understand. Great video
Thanks Max
This is a great video! You guys are the best!
Awesome video!
as a comparison, would an ebrake turn instead be faster and more consistent?

Nice video! Do you have any news about Wyatt? Is he still part of the team?
Yeah it's cool content but I'm subscribed for Wyatt :/
This guy Max is pretty awesome, very good at explaining the techniques.
@@h20skijoe I know but Wyatt is OG
Have they published any information on him? Has he left? Or have they put him in a different position?
@@erty2389 I googled it and couldn't find anything but he's not on their website at the moment
Instead of left foot braking can this be done with right foot braking

Owl Scandinavian flick is all you need 🤙👌💯😁
All you need to end up in a ditch lol
