    Re: How do AWD cars make donuts?

    YouTube - Audi R8 making donuts

    Many AWD cars like the R8, murcielago, skyline GT-R, 911 turbo, etc don't distribute the power equally to the front and rear axle...

    Some of these cars only give less than 50% of the engine power to the front axle... The remaining more than 50% is given to the rear axle...

    If you will watch the video, you can observe that the front-wheels are not providing driving power when the R8 is producing donuts... Almost all of the power produced by the engine is given to the rear...
    Everything ends at 666...

    Someone sent me a link to this video yesterday:

    YouTube - Ken Block Gymkhana Practice

    At 3:10 there some perfect donuts around a dude on Segway.

    The whole video is ridiculous though, maybe AWD is secretly more fun than RWD, but all the Rally drivers have been keeping that secret to themselves.

    well obviously its not difficult on a slippery surface, but it is easier if you carry some momentum before turning and the getting on the throttle.
