That was boring as hell
This is amazing! I often times almost hate videos from this angle but this was very exciting to watch. I like how in the fast parts you can literally hear when the driver is in the slipstream or not!
Really good, that one. Great camera setup. Really shows how incredible these cars are through the Porsche curves nowadays too.
Interesting how almost on every curve he turns the wheel 90º instantly, not gradually nor 45 or something, 90º and instantly... weird.
Induce a little understeer in an attempt to make sure the rear doesn't step out? I've seen the technique before and that was my only real reasoning behind it.
It's something you do in karting, and some drivers keep it on into cars. It's not always the ultimate way to maximise speed, but it helps scrub speed and jack the kart.
Well it's Jan Charouz, he's not exactly Walter Wröhl when it comes to car control.
And Al, when you 'jack' a kart it helps it to turn on the spot because you lift the inside rear wheel, it doesn't induce understeer like it does in a car. Surely you'd know this?

That 'aggressive' turn-in was also something Alonso used to do quite a bit of in his days at Renault in the wet. Seems like he stopped doing it after a few years though. Whether that was just his style or it was something the car responded well to is another question.

It was what the Michelin's liked. The bizarre style required to get the most out of them is one of the key reasons he (and others) struggled initially in 2007, as the Bridgestone was far more conventional and he had to re-adapt.
You hit full lock and then lean on the outside wheel. You use the understeer to induce the jacking effect. it's a bit backward I know. It was mainly used in classes with low-grip wet tyres as you can't get the front to load enough.

Great video. I love sounds of serious race car when it's not on race speed(formation lap in this video).
Horrible driving though.
