Air shifter

 

dont know on the gear change but that vid actually excited me love the snaking from the launch and under braking lol

 

i was gonna say an air shifter i remember seeing a demo on here for one a while back

 

According to info on the comments it's an air shifter fired by a button the driver uses.

 

 

Don't let Wenny see this... he'll get all misty eyed looking at his Mk3

Going back to the question, have a look at Geartronics for a clue as to how this stuff works: http://www.geartronics.co.uk/

 

That snaking is crazy , how the hell it doesn't spin out with all that power is amazing and when he pull's the chute and brakes , that snakes him all over as well .

The one that came up on the screen after it is even faster .

 

Could be via a button, or more likely ecu controlled air shifter.


All the driver has to do is keep his right foot planted, and steer

 

And steering that thing doesn't look like such an easy thing to do!

 

Looked a bit hairy at the end when the shoot was released!

 

Thanx for the link will,

another thing that gets me is why he carried on the throttle after pulling the shute??

 

that would be to stop it swaping ends as the back goes light when the shute is opening
