Clutch
When the clutch is fully clamped by the pressure plate, rolling over some bumps wouldn't cause it to slip.

Most stock clutchs can handle a lot more power then what the motor is rated for, even on eco cars the stock clutches can hold about 2x the engines power in stock form.

I just always seen people say they just talk and have no replay to back it. I'm providing a replay. It starts to gets too hot around the 8th lap.
It wont upload.. Even zipped it's 3.1mb. It's on a rally cross track and I never did slip the clutch.

Any idea's where to upload?
jumping and then landing while at full throttle (guessing) is different than just power causing it to slip

In the jumping case, you have the engine free reving as high as it will go, and the drivetrain also spinning at a higher rpm because of that. When you land, the wheel speed must match the speed of the vehicle. The wheels slow down, and because the engine is connected to the wheels, it also must slow down.

I would imagine that the clutch would slip for 2 reasons.

First of all, there is a huge shock when it goes from free reving to a large load on the engine like that.

Secondly, I don't think the engine would be able to instantaneously slow down from 6500 rpm to 4500 rpm, and this makes the weakest link in the drivetrain slip while the rpm slows down.

I think that the initial shock of landing would be enough force to make the clutch slip for an instant, and once it has lost its bite, it would be much easier to make it continue to slip while the engine slows down.
Thirdly, When the car hits the ground after a jump it's going to have a lot more grip for a breif instant than it would than for example doing a standing start on pavement. Hence you can drop the clutch and peel out on pavement but still slip the clutch landing from a jump at WOT.
