08-May-2017, 01:41 PM Amazing display of lightweight agility: Immediately recognized the track from my gaming experience lol... A real, real classic: Rallye-Legend Ari Vatanen at Pikes Peak Hillclimb back in 1990. Don't be mistaken by the low-quality thumbnail, this is a good little movie. 11-May-2017, 01:56 AM Man! That's scary as crap!!! 11-May-2017, 04:55 AM Yeah Pikes Peak is insanity. Have to have a little crazy in you to compete there. 11-May-2017, 04:17 PM However, my absolute all-time favourite motorsport is the classic world rallye championship. I seen my share of footage but still catch myself laughing in disbelief while getting goosebumps. This is a good family-friendly montage (no crashes etc) with some impressive filming too. Those guys really drive on the edge... drifting like this must feel a bit like flying. 11-May-2017, 04:47 PM Great thread. I know from experience beating the crap out of Vettes on the course that small and light can outdo big muscle in the right scenario!

It's funny, I spent a brief time learning drift (I didn't really have the car for it though) and I always equated some of the feelings of flying to drifting. lol! carl.vegas Current Quads: Operational: Diatone GT2 200 In need of repair: Bumble Bee, tehStein, Slightly modified Vortex 250 (11-May-2017, 04:47 PM)Carl.Vegas Wrote: It's funny, I spent a brief time learning drift (I didn't really have the car for it though) and I always equated some of the feelings of flying to drifting. lol! It's only virtual reality for me (mostly GranTourismo, TOCA/DTM and ColinMcRae/Dirt game series), but since i learned to fly turns a bit faster it seems that the way you have to control throttle can feel pretty similar. ________________ Digging through onboard vids... I vaguely remember Sardegna, been there as a kid once, it was beautiful: So many blind corners! My fav style of pace notes. Single digits = gear for turn, double digits = distance to next. Also know that the winner of this stage was even 14 seconds faster than the driver in this video... 12-May-2017, 10:17 PM Finland is considered the fastest. Sometimes they DO fly - so many blind jumps! 12-May-2017, 10:20 PM Germany is also very fast - such a narrow strip of road to get grip from, and then those hairpin turns! 13-May-2017, 02:04 AM (11-May-2017, 04:47 PM)Carl.Vegas Wrote: It's funny, I spent a brief time learning drift (I didn't really have the car for it though) and I always equated some of the feelings of flying to drifting. lol! I agree. When coming in for a hard corner I even kind of think to myself "ok turn a bit early and let her slide around it" helps me corner tighter and faster by having the arse drifting out and keeping me in the trajectory I want. Though while driving, generally, it's not faster (depending on the situation), but just plain sexy 13-May-2017, 02:54 AM (11-May-2017, 06:57 PM)fftunes Wrote: It's only virtual reality for me (mostly GranTourismo, TOCA/DTM and ColinMcRae/Dirt game series), but since i learned to fly turns a bit faster it seems that the way you have to control throttle can feel pretty similar. Racing games have always been my favorite video games... and I would say that racing sims do teach you the right habits, especially GT which includes really good tutorials! While it's not quite the same as using an actual RC radio to practice flying... it still has a ton of value to work out concepts in a game like GT or Forza (13-May-2017, 02:04 AM)Drone0fPrey Wrote: I agree.

On the road, the only reason it isn't faster is because of grip... that's why rally, such as the videos above, make a ton of sense to be turning ahead of time... an angle with 4 wheels of thrust pushing against the loose gravel is about as good as you're going to get with grip... much more like props that are pushing air around... or at least that is how it works in my head! oh yes... and sexy as HELL!

It does make sense in some corners on FWD or AWD cars to get the rear end to break loose even on grippy pavement... that is true carl.vegas Current Quads: Operational: Diatone GT2 200 In need of repair: Bumble Bee, tehStein, Slightly modified Vortex 250 |
