The overalls I use now for rallying are his co-driver's old ones from that time, got to be worth 2-3s per mile in a nova lol

Good drivers don't use the hand brake on FWD cars if your going side ways your not going forward and loosing time

This is true, but the 3 point turn around a hair pin can't be quicker...

The only time you use it in a FWD rally car is if the car will not get around the corner in one go with it's full steering lock.
The good drivers will upset the balance of the car to introduce over steer if needed without the hand brake, only boy racers go for the hand brake.

He has to do a 3point turn. Losing over 5 sec, surely a tab of the hand brake would have him around that maybe losing 1 sec...?

Just realising title should say manx not mank sorry! I'm guessing everyones seen it. He would have been quicker with the handbrake no doubt on that one. I know he knows the roads but the commitment shown is unreal!
