| RWD doughnuts A Doughnut is the art of spinning the rear of the car around the front wheels. So called because it creates a circular collection of skid marks in the shape of a doughnut. This is a really tricky technique and requires lots of practice and lots of rear tyres to get right. Having a limited slip differential will help matters as explained in the Driving Science Section. Starting a Doughnut is tricky in itself, posing the problem of creating quick oversteer but not too much as to just do a sudden 180 degree spin and stop. One way is to start off in 1st gear, get up a bit of speed start turning dip the clutch and pull the hand brake, when the car starts to skid hit the gas, drop the hand brake and let the clutch out. It is then a case of practice to get the hang of balancing the power to produce a smooth doughnut with the front wheels staying roughly where they are and the rear wheel pivoting round them. This looks really cool if you get it right but is costly on tyres, diffs and engines. But what the hell!! Source: www.drivingtechniques.co.uk |
