Line 1: '''Rob Brown''' (born on [[April 10]], [[1968]] in [[Kingston, Ontario\|Kingston]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]) is a former [[professional]] [[ice hockey]] [[Winger (ice hockey)\|right wing]] who played in the [[National Hockey League]] for eleven seasons between [[1987-88 NHL season\|1987-88]] and [[1999-00 NHL season\|1999-00]]. ~~[[Image:En_rr001_english.png\|thumb\|250px\|Sketch of RR layout]]~~ Brown was drafted 67th overall by the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] in the [[1986 NHL Entry Draft]]. His best statistical NHL season was the [[1988-89 NHL season\|1988-89 season]], when he played on a line with [[Mario Lemieux]]; he set career highs with 49 goals, 66 assists, 115 points, 24 power play goals, 6 game-winning goals, and a +27 plus/minus rating. In [[automobile design]], an '''RR''', or '''Rear-engine, [[Rear-wheel drive]]''' layout places both the [[engine]] and drive wheels at the rear of the vehicle. In contrast to the [[RMR layout]], however, the [[center of gravity]] of the [[engine]] itself is actually past the rear axle. This is not to be confused with the center of gravity of the whole vehicle, as an imbalance of such proportions would make it impossible to keep the front wheels on the ground. ==Career statistics== This layout is typically chosen for a combination of several reasons. For optimal [[Car handling\|handling]] and to eliminate the phenomenon known as [[torque steer]], the wheels which propel the car should not be the same ones that steer it.{{Fact\|date=February 2007}} For optimum traction, the engine should be nearest to the driven wheels since the engine is typically the densest/heaviest component of the car. Thus, in a car which steers with the front wheels, it is better for the engine to be located in the rear of the car — either a RR or [[RMR layout\|RMR]] design.{{Fact\|date=February 2007}} {\| BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="0" ID="Table3" \|- ALIGN="center" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" !

This tendency is referred to as [[oversteer]] and creates potential safety issues in racing applications as well as for ordinary drivers on wet or icy roads, although such behavior is desirable in [[Drifting (motorsport)\|drifting]], a motorsport based on intentional oversteer. *Played for Team Canada in the 1988 World Junior Championships. '''International Statistics''' In addition, even though the rear wheels benefit from the additional traction the added weight of the engine gives, the front wheels still need traction in order to steer the car effectively. For this reason, a RR layout car can also be prone to [[understeer]]. Most manufacturers have abandoned the RR layout apart from [[Porsche]] who has gradually developed their design with improvements to the suspension as well as electronic aids to reduce the shortcomings of the layout to acceptable levels. {\| BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="3" CELLSPACING="0" \|- ALIGN="center" bgcolor="#e0e0e0" !

Versions such as the [[Porsche 911 GT3\|GT3]] remain true RR, however. {{succession box \| before = [[Luc Robitaille]] \| title = [[CHL Player of the Year]] \| years = 1987 \| after = [[Joe Sakic]]}} {{end box}} [[Category:1968 births\|Brown, Rob]] Another manufacturer to implement the RR configuration was the [[De Lorean Motor Company]] with its [[De Lorean DMC-12\|DMC-12]] sports car. To compensate for the uneven (35/65) weight distribution caused by the rear-mounted engine, De Lorean used rear wheels with a diameter slightly greater than the front wheels. Other than the [[Porsche 911]], the last mass produced RR configured car, at least in Europe, was the [[Škoda 130/135/136]] that was produced until 1990 or the [[Polski Fiat 126p]] produced until October [[2000]]. [[Category:Calder Cup champions\|Brown, Rob]] [[Category:Canadian ice hockey right wingers\|Brown, Rob]] A range of sports road cars and racing cars with the RR layout were produced by the French company [[Alpine (car)\|Alpine]]. These had bodies made of [[composite material]]s and used mechanical components made by Renault. (Alpine was eventually acquired by Renault; the [[Renault Alpine GTA/A610\|A610]] was a Renault product that used the Alpine name.)
