One of the most personal things a rally driver will do on a Special Stage is use the handbrake. It helps rotate a car around a tight corner. Some swear by it. Others avoid it like the plague. Still, when they need it, where do they place it in the cockpit?

Bill Wood from Tech House & Speed Radio (www.bybillwood.com) takes fans into the rally car to explain handbrake positioning and the drivers using it at the 100 Acre Wood Rally held in Salem, MO late last month.
