Hello, from the AdPower team.

Recently, we had the pleasure of meeting Kenji Kanehisa, a former F3 racer who is now active with v.Granz in Japan. We installed AdPower on his vehicle and let him experience its effects firsthand! We would like to share with you what happened during this encounter.

AdPower joins the race at the 2024 Suzuka Clubman Race Round 2!

< Racer Kenji Kanehisa >

The 2024 Suzuka Clubman Race Round 2 took place on May 11th and 12th. Mr. Kanehisa  of v.Granz (ONELAPCOAT Assist Seishun Oyaji 16C) competed and impressively secured 3rd place. Congratulations! And what’s more, Mr. Kanehisa's racing car was equipped with AdPower!

Mr. Kanehisa has had a successful career in Formula 3 (F3) and is now competing primarily with v.Granz. He was the F5 champion in 2001 and the champion of this class in 2020, achieving another strong result this time as well. Round 3 will take place on June 15th and 16th, and we look forward to his continued success in the upcoming races.

*Formula 3 is a category of automobile racing defined by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) as a four-wheel open-wheel formula car race.

Mr. Kanehisa's comments after introducing AdPower

"This time, with the rule changes, I was hoping for a bit more speed on the straights. After installing AdPower, I noticed an improvement compared to other cars. Since there are no downsides to having it installed, I found it to be a welcome addition."

AdPower suppresses static electricity in the intake air, improving airflow, and also reduces static electricity across the entire body of the vehicle.
Why not experience it for yourself?

Hello, are you able to transfer the load with the image of drawing a circle?

This time, it is an advanced version.
Let's try to draw a bigger circle outside of the basic smooth circular load transfer.

Well, it's the commonly called "drifting".
There are many ways to say "drifting".
It depends on the performance of the car, the setting, the way of making the triggers, the drive system, etc... but that aside, the normal load transfer is an image of drawing a circle, however the drifting is a load transfer that adds a parabola to the basic circular movement. 

The size of this parabola depends on how it drifts.

"side brake"
"engine power"
"brakes"
"inertia"and "feint"

There are various triggers for drifting, but if the load transfer is not smooth, the car will spin.

"Centripetal force" and "centrifugal force" generated by moving the steering wheel to "inertia" of the driving force of the car, and "center of gravity".

With these in mind, we have to control the grip of the "front wheels" and "rear wheels" to make a parabolic drifting.

I used to practice drawing clover ♣ ️when I was young.
Nowadays we live in a world where it is difficult to find a place to practice, but if you have a place and an opportunity, please try your best.

Hello!

Did you manage to smooth out the load transfer from front to back?
Are you holding the handlebar too tight?

First of all, I would like to talk about moving the load to the left and right, and turning right or left by operating the steering wheel.

The load moves from side to side by operating the steering wheel, but the timing of this movement is important.
When the brakes are applied, the load is moving forward, but the load that is leaning forward in this way must not be moved backward.

When I release the brake (release the brake that I stepped on), I start turning the steering wheel, and it is very important to do this smoothly.

The center of gravity when the car is stopped is the center of the circle, and when the brakes are applied, the load (center of gravity) that has moved forward is the radius, and the load is moved to the "right" or "left" in a circular motion. Achieves smooth running.

When releasing (relaxing) the brakes, the center of gravity should not be as close to the center of gravity when the car is stopped.

If you can summarize this point well, you will get closer to comfortable driving.
This "front to right" and "front to left" load transfer is the story of the front half of the circle.
