| Since 2012 there is a unit pedals in the DTM |
Performance vehicles at an affordable price - that's the big challenge in designing a DTM car. In order to meet the call for cost reductions, the manufacturers were more on unit components such as the pedals, which came along in contrast to previous years, as each brand with its own design, is designed exactly the same on all cars.
Variable brake balance
The unit component of aluminum is significantly heavier than a purpose-built system. The 8000 km, which can be mastered in a DTM season make, generally no problem Nevertheless, the efficiency of the cylinder for safety checks two to three times per year.
With the help of the cylinder is set to the clutch and the front and rear axle, the braking balance and the clutch travel. Observed is mainly the brake balance, which ensures that the car remains controllable in the curves. This is variable and is adjusted according to the driver's wishes. At high speed braking is usually a larger brake balance on the front axle is preferred at lower speeds the front and rear balance is about the same.
Cleats in different sizes
The footrest provides variations. The cleats are in height, length and width as well as adapted to each other at a distance to the individual preferences of the driver.
