As far I know, most only lock in your final gear, or if you have the gear selector in a certain gear, but I may be mistaken.

Many cars have more than just your final gear able to be locked.

anyone know what he is accomplishing by seemingly tapping the gas through the corner? note: i've never tracked RWD or anything that couldn't be floored out of every corner so maybe that's the answer - testing grip?

oh, simple, he sucks at driving! :mrgreen:
No, just looks like he's using the throttle to help rotate the car, probably compensate for a tendancy to understeer.

Right, but most don't during normal driving, right? That would be silly because the only gear you drive in for a sustained time is final drive. As the guy in the video is doing.
