Title: Car maneuvers
Post by: anwar on October 10, 2009, 07:33:58 PM
In aircraft flying, we have loops and rolls and flatspins and torque rolls.

What do have in the cars world, in terms of named maneuvers ?

Well there is drifting....
After that there's just basics like backflips, barrel rolls...

But one thing about cars that can't be done in planes is to watch your car go high in the air and CRASH....

Well we all know drifting...

Backflips are quite common too...
Barrel roll is where the car goes through a split ramp (basically a ramp with a normal curve and half of the ramp is little higher) and does a "roll" and comes back to normal position...

The HPI Savage Flux is notorious for this. Standing back flips and wheelies.
