Burnout and Rear Sliding out
Burnout and Rear Sliding out Hello, probably a newbie question here but why does my car seem to always have the rear slide out to the right during a burn out at the track. I don't really use the brake in the begining, I just dump the cluth a bit and get the tires spinning, lightly apply the brakes and let off once the car "dusts off" the tires and starts to move forward. The rear is sliding out before I apply the brakes. I'm using stock F1s on a pretty much stock car. Any ideas?.
i have found that it is caused by not enough tire speed......you need to go up higher in rpms or different gear. When i had 3.73 gears, i did my burnout in 2nd....3.23 gears in 1st. Just what works for me

The tread on a street tire is hard, and does not benefit from a typical "burnout" where you heat tires up.
