if i understand it correctly this upper link is a damper which enables the whole rear axle to turn forward on braking and shift down, to decrease the possibility blocking the wheels etc.
imho this would be good on a track car but on a driftcar it just unables you to brake that hard and that directly and almost impossible to make a shift lock drift.

oh and the brake discs looks crazy. there must be some kind of trick. would like to know why they look like that

Well your right this link does give it more grip on braking when in the open position. Now with this set up I can take it from full open to a locked up bar from the drivers seat and it will react like a standard bar.

The discs are like that to reduce weight the diameter is 298mm and their weight are 2.5 kg.
