While not full thrust vectoring, more like unthrust vectoring, McLaren did this:
One further famous example was the so-called “fiddle brake”, given its name much later by Ferrari technical boss Ross Brawn, but known within the team as “brake-steer,” that McLaren ran in the latter half of 1997 and into 1998. This simple concept allowed the rear brakes to operate on either the left or right side only, providing a clear benefit under acceleration in corners – and an instant lap time advantage.

- metadat 4y agoiirc, F1 cars today all use brake steering.
- KennyBlanken 4y agoAs do road cars with stability control.
- _carbyau_ 4y agoAlong similar lines, there exists the e-diff. Basically a standard diff using brakes to shape power output. Basically a brake limited version of a limited slip diff.
- mhio 4y agoBrake steering by applying different pressure left/right is not allowed. 11.1 Brake circuits and pressure distribution 11.1.1 ... all cars must be equipped with only one brake system. This system must comprise solely of two separate hydraulic circuits operated by one pedal, one circuit operating on the two front wheels and the other on the two rear wheels. ... 11.1.2 The brake system must be designed so that within each circuit, the forces applied to the brake pads are the same magnitude and act as opposing pairs on a given brake disc. https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/2022_formula_1_technical_regulations_-_iss_1_-_2020-03-30.pdf https://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/2022_formula_1_techn...
