Meh, anyone can drive well on a road circuit after repeated laps. I think the drivers with the best skills are Rally Car Racers who traverse off-tarmac.

 

that's funny

 

^^ funny, but true. I think you get the point.

 

You give me a $200K rally car and I could drive like that too.
Scratch that, I drive like that now!

 

that was fucking sweet. man I wish I could drive like that.

 

So do the rest of the DFW driver's you go scaring the sh!t out of every day.



( :wink: )

 

 

saw nothing special about that...

now this, yes... looks like his car is helping him but he's showing some good skills 2.

Holy transmission whine batman!

 

straight cut gears for you

 

no i don't....because I've driven on a track........doesn't sound like you have much

 

I agree with this. Once you've become accustomed to a track (and have some degree of skill, common sense, and judgment), you can keep going around and around without much issue, unless something breaks or you do make a mistake somewhere. I'm not a pro race driver or anything but I do have a good number of no-incident laps under my belt (Gingerman Raceway, Road America).

edit: hmm I am not sure "anyone" can do it though... I think some people intrinsically suck at it and should stay off the racetrack..

 

Damn.. had volume on max with earphones.. that second video hurt my ears

 

i was gonna say it's kinda ear-piercing and to be careful but I forgot

 

Car looked pretty twitchy, the big twirls of the wheel that guy was making were almost all big mid-corner corrections. A fast drive, but not easy.

If you had no racing experience, it would take you an entire year of practice lapping to be able to do that.

That's assuming you have the skill to be able to drive like that in the first place.

-Mirror

 

Allow myself to clarify. Anyone with a modicum of driving skill, not any nanny off the street.

Do I have loads o' track experience like phil? But, I've enough to know that I prefer prefer open-road rallying to closed-circuit racing. That's where you separate the men from the boys.

 

This sounds like a basketball vs. football vs. soccer vs. hockey conversation.

Trying to convince someone one way or the other will get you nowhere, really.... with that said that was some pretty good driving

 

rally cars do pre staging and have notes to go off of. Have you ever witness a rally car that got the wrong notes for a section...NOT PRETTY.

I love rally racing and road course racing both equally! I HATE nascar.

 

NOW THIS GUY CAN DRIVE! 335 R compound tires in back. 600whp+

Rally > *

 

1st vid...I play that track on Forza2....hahaha that's awesome.

 

What kind of car is that? Its a mid-engined something, considering the attitude of the car through corners and on corner exit. I hear wastegates chuffing away though.....so turbocharged?

 

Pretty sure it's an NSX. Not quite stock, though

 

^ factor X NSX with their custom turbo kit fully built track car. They keep winning the RWD TIme Attack events.

 

here you guys go.. Ruf Yellowbird @ the Ring.. this car hit 211 mph.. in 1987.

What that the supercharger, or just the natural purr of the engine?

 

[QUOTE=gatrhumpy]That was the transmission, actually.

 

That yellowbird vid was ridiculous!

 

I like to move it, move it...

Sure that shouldn't be in the 'weather gone mad' thread?

 

Jeebus!
