+1, During one lap around the Primus course how many times did you guys break traction, then regain it? At least 12 if there are 12 turns?
That transition from spin to grip isn't hard on the driveline?
I count 7 turns on the track we were on.
1 turn right from the bat
1 follow up 40 feet from that
1 turn 50-60 feet down track to the right
1 turn to the left about 40 feet or so
straight for 20-25 feet and 1 left turn which is slightly pitched but not quite a turn then into 1 right hand turn about 60-70 feet down track into 1 last turn probably 30 feet from there.
And transition from moving to slowing down slightly is LESS harsh then 4,000 rpm DROPS of the clutch making mush of your whole driveline.
When you are in the rpm's and going around a corner , things are moving, spinning and in motion.Take them and slow them just a bit and you dont have much wear and tear at all, hell I do that daily driving to school and home.
Now sit at a stop light and rev to 3-4 grand and drop it and what do you have ? Lots of tq or joules being applied to things at a sudden instant and not over a period of time like the process of slowing or increasing speed on a drift course.
