What is the torque distrubition of Ken Block's cars? The fiesta and the old Subaru? Because as far as I can tell, the way he drifts is not the way a rear wheel drive car would drift. He drifts all four tires and doesn't countersteer. I suppose he has a 50/50 torque distrubition in order to make all wheels drift. Am I correct?
RicerDude wrote:50/50 would just under steer really badly wouldn't it? I would expect it to be around 30/70 or 20/80.
Yeah but then how would you smoke your front tires?
And I remeber that chris harris said they do understeer a lot and feel kinda front wheel drive. I think it was for Focus WRC
At a guess, I'd say something like the inverse of the brake bias, so in the range of 60-80% rear. This takes into account that more grip is available on the rears due to load transfer.
I'd guess 50% front would only smoke the fronts in the same way that 50% brake bias would lock the rears.
