 Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2015 5:30 pm Post subject: How to beat a 700hp BMW with 450hp 924 |
 |
|
Here's how: decent traction, launch control and cool head 
BMW had limited slip and mediocre tires, still beat him on the 1/4 mile. He would have caught me though if the race was longer.
Need to turn down fuel a bit when launch control is active, looks like a diesel.
Sorry about the poor quality, perhaps will get better quality footage later.

Sweet, good one Raceboy.
Like the smoke screen too, big advantage if the other driver can`t see the road.

I did not lose more than 1 meter during launch, it is actually better than most AWD  Not that Audi used launch control with anti-lag too with its awd.
