Description

If you want to know how to drive like a pro, you have to start with your tires. And if you want to see how tires are actually gripping the road, you have to start with this video. Slip angle is a measurement of how much "give" your tires have turning in either direction before they actually lose grip. Knowing how to find that limit is the real secret to fast lap times. Basically, the tire's contact patch is deforming in multiple directions as you drive due to longitudinal and lateral forces... you know what? Let's just go with a visual. We found the only place with a glass floor strong enough to support a car and drove a Porsche 718 Spyder RS on it to show you a never-before-seen look at slip angle in action. #porsche #spyder #rs #tires #physics #explained #science #how #driving #cars #carculture #carenthusiast #track #cool #sportscar #cartok
