Drive School – How to Do A J-Turn (Spin and Go)

Scare the crap out of back seat drivers! Manual transmission Step 1. Find your straight line through the rear window. Fix your eyes on a spot in the distance, this should keep you on course. Step 2. Pop it into reverse and floor the throttle. Step 3. At around 25-30mph take your foot off the accelerator. This doesn’t need to be a pretty or smooth manoeuvre but it does need to be quick as the idea is to unbalance the rear suspension. Step 4. With your hand on the steering wheel at seven to nine o’clock throw the steering wheel away to the right. This now unbalances the front end and the car will automatically fly straight round. If it’s a good J-turn the rear wheels will stay virtually still as the front wheels spin around to the front. Step 5. Look forward, clutch down and into first gear. Drive away. How hard is that? For automatics the final step is even easier as you don’t use the clutch. Step 5. (Automatic) Look forward, change from reverse into drive and away you go. Taken from the book How to Drive a Tank, more stunt driving techniques can be found here: www.frankcoles.com If you’re interested in receiving a free Kindle/ebook edition, just drop me a line either in the comments below.

Learn: Heel and toe downshift

Here we are going to explain how to be a Heel and Toe downshift expert. Yup, you heard it right. Have you seen Jackie Chan doing it in movies? Well, you too will be able to do just like that. This is a technique which you’d be able to use only with your manual transmission car. Don’t think of using this technique in automatic transmission mode!!

After you learn how to do this technique effectively, you’ll be able to decrease the wear and tear of your car, and also control your car in a better way than ever. And if you practice it often, then surely, you’ll be improving your lap time, if you are fond of car racing on race tracks.

Heel and toe downshift is a tough technique indeed. You’ll have to use both of your feet, the gear shift lever, all of the pedals, and your right hand. Ahh, would it be something impossible for you to do? Nah, don’t worry. We’ll be explaining how to do it the best way.

A typical driver at a sharp corner, will try to downshift the car pushing the clutch, thus causing the car to buck a bit. This is something that most of us do and it doesn’t provide a smooth shift. Well, we should be knowing how to make the engine speed equal to that of the wheel speed. This is not the case with our driving. When we are going at high speeds, and at the corner, while we want to make a sharp turn, we often downshifts the gear. If initially it was in the 4th gear, he would be downshifting to 2nd gear. Doing so, the engines speed increases from zero to a certain value. This sudden change in the engine’s speed causes the car to buck a little. This will lead to wear and tear as well.

So, if you are going at high speeds and at the corner you are planning to take a sharp turn then you should be following the heel and toe downshifting technique. While applying the brake, the same instant, you should be downshifting the gear. This way, you’ll be able to do a smooth turn at the corner without causing any wear and tear to the car.

Learn: Drag Racing Launch Techniques

So, what is drag racing? These days it is much popular for the reason that, now even in the streets is being found all over the world. It is a car race tournament, in which just two cars will be participating, in a straigt line covering the same distance in order to win the race. Drag racing depends a lot on lauch, and we’ll trying to explain why it is that important.

Before we go on any further, it is to be noted that you’ have to spend some money for changing the tires, repairing the car and also for modifying it. If you are ready for it, then you’ll be learning to be consistent in driving your car. Well, the way we lauch a manual transmission car and an automatic transmission car is different. The same goes with an all-wheel-drive car, a front-wheel-drive car, and with a  rear-wheel-drive car.

If you are with a manual transmission car, then it’s all about applying the throttle at the right levels. Our main aim should be to prevent the excessive spinning of wheels. Different cars are with different rpm levels. So, if you are planning to learn how to launch your are in the quickest time, then you should try holding the throttle at different rpm levels. This way you’ll be knowing the power needed to launch your car the better way. After some experiments with your car, the car would be surely needing some repairs. But, these experiments will surely making you an hard core driver.
