There's a reason you don't see dirt late models carrying the left front off the ground anymore. 4 tires handle better than 3
yep it's because I splained it to them. ...
Were on here talking about limited grip.
If you only need or USE the LF to start your turn then you can't start a turn without the LF.
If you ain't using it then you don't need it to grip.
But the case is its got to be ready to put the grip to the ground when you need it.
High Hp Super Lates and Winged Sprints can ONLY put the straight hp and acceleration to it that the fronts and ...(stagger) can turn the thing.
If you can't turn it you can't go fast.
Even with your low hp running on the ragged edge of being on rails, if engagement with the track banking when you need to start the turn ain't going to start you into the turn then the LF got to be able to do it.
With your normal high cross, low hp scenario's before turning your on the LF and LR and it's initial input at the LF that starts you winding the clock.
High hp Super Lates and more and more today Winged Sprints after turn in your banging/pushing/stuffing the camber on the RF into the track and digging in with camber dragging the LF across the track.
NO TURN up front and your not going to carry momentum or maximize acceleration.
Reduce the hp and everything still has to do the same for you, just it needs to do less of the same.
The limit of grip is the limit of grip no matter if you put yourself there along with lowered speed and grip or got the hp to do it.
And no matter WHAT you will never go faster without the grip to go you faster, even forgetting about hp.
It's about available hp, available grip and what you do with each that will make you fast and nothing else except the driver.
... and it don't matter if the driver is a 14 or 15. ...
