@JUMPMAN23MCM it's both, having the engine rev as you try to brake: 1. you prevent driving (in this case rear) whells locking 2. you assist in slowing the car down, compression forces in the engine affect the transmission.
@tyresmoke yes, you are right; compression forces help slow the car down, but in racing, that is not the primary function for decelerating the car. but rowing through the gears is simply a waste of energy and unneeded stress placed upon the clutch and transmission
You know RSR14, watching this vid makes me wonder about the behavior of some of those other PCA drivers... It looks like a lot of those guys need to use their mirrors more. I mean, it's a club race for fun; you got into some pretty tight squeezes through the infield...
Why is this comment downvoted to hell? This guy is the only one here that knows what he's talking about. There is no logical need to use the engine and transmission to decelerate when the brakes are more than capable of locking the wheels with no problem.
Set apart the drivers'skill (I ignore it and no offence for anyone),the 993 seems clearly faster in flat out sections,but slower entering into turns and may be with a lower braking power. In burn out accelerations are similar up to the 3rd gear I dare say. Can smo tell me sth about the bhp output gap between these cars and the approx.top speed on the bankings ? Thx.
Don't you just love that GT2. The old fart still has enough muscle. I'd even buy a replica of that just for the looks, those hips are so sexy. Now if they just made a racing version of that GT2 RS... Very cool vid by the way, professional driving, tops.
Sorry, but that is bullshit. Think about it: do you think the brakes of a race car need support from the drivetrain when slowing down? The reason why they downshift during braking is because it is easier than doing it mid corner. And yes, the sound is the tranny ;).
drivers don't downshift to help slow down the car, they downshift to have maximum acceleration coming out of the corner.
Awesome driving Cory! You get through traffic like it's a cake walk. Excellent instructional video for us newbies.
Hi Cory, I'm doing my first race at Daytona in October and using your vt as part of my guide.Great video and wonderful racing!
great driving, especially working thru traffic.
Thank you, I enjoyed watching it
Nice driving Cory! Sweet bump on the slow guy coming out of the infield!!

Congrats on the podium 2011 PCA Race at Daytona
its crazy to see how many times he shifts per lap. good driving skills as well

Awesome videos man... hoping someday to get into road racing, I live southeast of Lime Rock Park.
Great lesson! Thx a lot for sharing,
Awesome video Cory
Awesome driving. Super cool.
993 is wicked fast. But a cup is my first choice. Love it

yeah, i agree with that. but man does he know how to drive that thing. it is always crazy to see the skill these drivers have

Really something man...I cant wait to actually drive something like THAT car with you...haha...
great vid++
Holy cow! This is what I want to be when I grow up (from a noob)! =)

the tubo plays music
amazing technology
Pretty sure that’s the transmission
991 gt3 cup car right lol cup alone i wantd to knwo if u change interior for racin lol
8:11 was that a bump?
ahahahaha there goes leh!
