The proud Honda engineers were devastated, but took his advice… and I think it must have been one year later, when the F1 schedule brought him back to Japan, that he tested the improved prototype and gave it his approval.

    “The normal technique on corner entry is to keep as smooth as possible,” explains Takeo Kiuchi, Senna's Honda race engineer of 1990-92. “But Ayrton would use the throttle to put more torque through the tyre and change the yaw, a little bit each time. This way he could get a better trajectory before the apex without as much steering."

      @johnbutera5805 Před 2 měsíci +22

      Yes, Kikuchi was describing the "Circle of Friction" or Adhesion, that Mark Donohue was famous for. Jim Clark was also a master of this technique. Not only is it fast, but it also saves wear and tear on the chassis and tires. Andretti and Senna used a different technique, that IS faster, but is brutal on the vehicle, especially Andretti. That's why he was SO fast, but had so many DNFs. It was akin to the old "Bootlegger's Turn" in that he would fly down the straight, slam on the brakes quickly and turn the wheel, then off the brake and onto the gas to power out of the turn. Instead of a smooth transition in and out of the turn, the car would carry more speed into the turn, quickly spin on its axis, then exit the turn at a higher velocity than conventional technique would allow!! Being able to do this turn after turn, lap after lap, was unbelievable!!!

    • @lucky7s94
      @lucky7s94 Před 20 dny

      It's rev matching. Keeps rotation of engine and input shaft mostly the same speed, so that it doesn't send a shockwave through the drivetrain that would cause a loss of traction. Engine braking is great where you can use it in place of the brakes. Any good driver is going to use that to his advantage

  • @akioasakura3624
    @akioasakura3624 Před 2 měsíci +1094

    Beautifully explained. That’s his way of testing the car’s grip and balance.
    If you’ve done any powersliding aka “drifting”, u might have found urself unconsciously doing it. You can also check out videos of people sliding, and you will see that they do the same.
    The throttle blipping technique is exactly the same, Senna just took it to its highest most extreme form, with the precision required of an F-1 champion.
    I’ve also heard this story that senna wasn’t very good at motor skills, so as a young kid racing karts he had to compensate for that somehow, and that lead him to this technique. I don’t know how true that is though.

      @@jhansenduca1478 basically, powersliding is any driving in which ur sideways with countersteering. most people call that drifting, although its technically wrong.
      the real definition of drifting is simply driving at the real limit of the car, it's the most grip u can get out of a car.
      dont confuse "powersliding" and "power oversteer", bcuz powersliding is a steady state in the middle of the turn type of behaviour, while power over is a way to get into a powerslide state

    • @aufstrigende
      @aufstrigende Před 2 měsíci +3

      Senna is purposely unsettling the car so that it goes from oversteer to understeer or the other way around through the corner making it rotate faster and by blipping the throttle through a corner would make the car squat down and lead to a faster corner exit speed

    By blipping the throttle in a corner you can feel the car either wanting to spin out and loose traction or push to that perfect limit where the cars grip and speed create the perfect amount of understeer to go around a corner at the absolute limit. Senna was a genius by doing this cuz it obviously made him faster and proved that his legacy should be carried on.

    It’s similar to traction control where a computer allows you to floor the throttle, detects wheelspins, and cuts the power. Senna would blip the throttle, momentarily exceed the limit of traction, and come out of it. It probably helped him know the exact limit of traction coming out of a corner rather than relying on being as close to the limit as possible with progressive throttle application.

  • @edselrodriguez5450
    @edselrodriguez5450 Před 2 měsíci +1

    I think that Ayrton when using the accelerator like this in a curve what he achieved was to pass weight from back to front and get greater grip on the front axle. That is achieved by releasing the accelerator. Then he stepped again and passed the weight for the powertrain. I imagine that all this would be accompanied by subtle steering wheel movements in the moments when he released the accelerator and had grip on the front axle. It's a pity for so long that we can't ask him

    I also heard that this tecnique can be used for "press the throttle when you can not", as an example: If you floor the car on a curve you will crash, and if you do not press you go slow, so this technique helps You to keep a balance.
