That looked like it really wasn't done on purpose... Drifting out onto the outside curb like that is really sketchy. This corner tightens and catches everyone out, so maybe it was an error?

Steel aren't gonna have the bite those CCBs did after many laps around the track. Look how much bite they had. It was partially the balance but the brakes are what brought him back.

This amateur driver simply got very lucky. IMO, it is not his driving skills even less the CCB that saved him. The car was in oversteer and the driver did very little to correct the situation (countersteered too late and too little), he almost lost the car and luckily, just at the right moment, the rear wheel hit the banked curb. This is what stopped the slide and saved the driver's ass.

As others have pointed out, the outside wheel hitting the curb is what seems to straighten up the car. I cannot see the brake lights lighten up either until after the car has hit the curb... But as many posts have thought me here, there usually are more to these things than what I can tell... If the CCB indeed makes a difference, at which point during the video did the increased bite of the CCBs make a difference? |

Has the car been released in the wild yet?
Reminds me of how careful I drove this corner when I drove the ring.

No. All the others are right. It's the wheels hitting the curb that brings the car back straight, not the brakes.

I don't know how going hard on the brakes during a drift would whip a car straight ESP can straighten up a car by using the brakes independently, but there is no way that is going to happen if the driver is hitting the brakes during a drift... (if it did, then there would be no need for ESP You could just hit the brakes to straighten up the car...) Have you ever tried smashing the brakes during a drift? I have done it several times and have never experienced the car being straightened up by hitting the brakes. Quite the contrary, it only exagerates the drift/loss of control. Leaving the ESP on however makes a difference. On a good system you can really feel how it straightens up the car (I have done comparison tests between different cars at a track and the difference between ESP systems was noticeable in higher speeds).
