Race Of Champions, Brands Hatch 1979 video

Post

beginning lap 37, brands hatch, 1st corner, high speed, he slides and controls the car, video from behind as the rp/m raises and drops in sequence with the lost and regain of traction, amazing stuff. I noticed that even before the apex of a corner, giles is already on throttle. it seems he brakes and then right away get on throttle to push the cars grip immediately and does not leave the car hanging waiting for an exit angle, quite advance for that period then found myself rather than watching his car control instead started to listen to his throttle input. didn't senna have a similar stratergy but instead kept on tapping the throttle at the car is on the edge of its tractions?
