๐๐ฅ Comparing modern WRC pedal cams to the legendary Group B era reveals just how insane rally footwork used to beโฆ
Modern rally drivers use sophisticated paddle-shift sequential gearboxes and left-foot braking to manipulate chassis balance through corners with blinding speed.
While their footwork is lightning-fast and incredibly precise, pedal cams from the golden era of rally show a completely different dimension of physical driver labor.
