Now that I have split axis working I wanted to see how well it was modeled.
View the car from the rear for a better view of what is happening. From a
stop with the car in first gear, step fully on the brakes and fully on the
throttle . Now slowly let off of the brakes so the car starts to move but
the front wheels stay locked and are skidding along the ground (so far, so
good). Now turn the front wheels left and right. Oops, you are steering
the car even though the front tires are locked ... that's not accurate.
If this is modeled incorrectly, does the use of split axis give an unfair
advantage because you can lock up the front wheels and still steer?
Let me know if I'm missing something, but this seams wrong to me.

I think the fact that the car survived having 800+bhp pumped into the
clutch with the car stopped is more inaccurate!!!

I'm not 100% sure but i think the fronts may move in this situation, I'm not
totally sure on this area though.

Easy to test, just get someone to sit in your car with their foot hard
on the brake with the wheel on full lock, while you tow it exactly
forwards with another car. Dunno if it will work or not but I have a
sneaking suspicion that it might turn as well....

Maybe it would be a good idea to try it in someone else's car and not your
own. :)

As Mario Andretti says "a locked up wheel has no directional integrity"
