How could a rally car not have a handbreak?

Did a google search and someone said back then they didnt have a way of unlocking the differentials when the handbrake was used on a AWD car

I guess thats why the scandinavian flick was used...
still, dirt rally has one

Dirt rally has one. Yea u should ask them why they added the hand brake My guess is it was added to make the Audi competative with the cars that have a handbrake.


In the real Audi however...

No handbrake at all. Central diff can't open when handbrake is pulled, so even if you can put a hydraulic handbrake, strong enough, then it would lock all 4 wheels... so no handbrake. Scandinavian flick is your friend.

Thats really surprising! Then i guess i have to say sorry to Kunos (i was surprised anyway, they are so detailed with their cars, so i was really "shocked" when i saw no handbrake^^).
But thanks to Fatty McGassy and Nakadi!

There is still something i wonder, what did they do if there was a really tight hairpin? the flick would have been to slow i guess...

Anyway, pretty interesting!

None of the 4WD Group B rally cars had handbrake. It was the tech of the time that had the limitation.

I'm not 100% sure what was used in the S1, but Torsen center differential was used in some road-going "civilian" cars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsen

In the early stages of Group B there were RWD cars such as Lancia 037 that did have handbrake, just the 4WD ones didn't.

Looks like they had 100% locked center differential initially and had Torsen center differential later ('85 onwards).

Anyway, since engine was so far forward it had understeer and only way to drive it was "flat out" or "maximum attack".

I wonder what this thing in the Audi is that you can see when you go to F6 inside view. Look between the seats. What is that? It looks like a handbrake that is connected somehow...
Any idea? It looks like it is functional

its like a transbreak that holds a drag car on the line whilst at full chat, they used it at the start of a rally to spool the turbo up to full before the car was released
