Dreher (motorsport)
In motorsport, one speaks of a spin when the vehicle rotates around its vertical axis , more so than when drifting .
The "normal" spin is uncontrolled until the end and either leads to an accident or the vehicle is braked and with luck you can continue driving. A complete turn occurs when the vehicle rotates 360 degrees and can continue driving without any major delay. Twists of 720 or more are very rare.
Usually a brake plate is used in such a maneuver . It can also happen that you stall the engine while turning. As a result, especially in racing classes with highly specialized cars, such as B. Formula 1 , often end the race because you can not easily restart the engine from the cockpit .
