Being a computer **** I don't know how to but if you put Nissan GTR in the You Tube search and scroll down till you see rolling boost in the title, I think it was the only one. Third page 1 minute 38 seconds two guys in the car

 

Just search 'nissan gtr rolling boost' and it comes straight up.

 

I know the power has a lot to do with it but it seems a good way of getting going without all the damage a standstill launch can do.

By the way, thanks MattyB

 

It's like left foot braking. Stomp on the accelerator while holding speed by braking simultaneously. Lift for off brake and off you go

 

I don't think that's what he was doing, it was more an electrical assistance I think (a button)

 

You can even see the brakes glowing red

 

Looks to me like he is using his brakes, they glowing red

 

Can i have those 30 seconds back please.

 

That's not the video I watched. The one I saw looked more like an electrical aid and I just wonered what it was / how it worked and whether it could be used on all turbocharged cars.

 

The way I saw it was the chap held the accelerater down flat, boost built up to max and then when boost hit maximum the car went. A bit like anti lag and launch control combined whilst moving.

 

I agree but he mentioned "holding down the cancel button, floor it, then let go of the button"

 

I think I've been watching too much Star Trek
