Four tiny squares of rubber make or break you as a driver. With proper application, you walk away looking like a well-trained hero. If not, you’ll wind up hearing the unmistakable sound of metal against barrier, or the noise as your car skids through the grass sideways as your eyes and brain have a severe talk about your latest misjudgment. What those small little patches of rubber need to keep you from twirling around like you’re doing an impression of a teacup ride is weight, lots of it. The reason rubber works so well for a contact surface is that it’s squishy: more weight, more friction, more grip. To prove a point, Randy Pobst is breaking out two heavyweights to show you how weight transfer works: one of them is a Nissan NV van with an extended roofline. The other is a Ramen-slurping sumo wrestler. No, we aren’t kidding. Hit play below and see just how both of those extremely different items demonstrate proper weight management.
