I love flames!

Tjzsin4given · 07-25-2009, 03:31 PM

he went from 10th place to 4th place in 6 laps.
and the white MK2 was shooting alot of flames!

Looks like he's hitting the apex too early in almost every corner. But good driving none the less.

lmoua_07 · 07-25-2009, 06:07 PM

that inside two does not sound stock..

Tjzsin4given · 07-25-2009, 08:42 PM

none of them sound stock.
and yeah he did hit most of the apex early but he had them on the straights. and most of those guys where spining tires on exit. im thinking he had better exit corner speed then all of them. Thats a good enough reason to get ahead of the rest.

Correct lines and entry speeds separate those with money from those with skills. I wish my dad hadn't recorded over me in an epic battle with a corvette, he won in the end but he had a bazillion horsepower and the commentator sounded like he was going to pop an artery he was so worked up.

Patients? Like at a doctor's office? huh?

Nice video, but holy crap, that was the worst camera mount EVER. Did he just duct tape the camera to the roof? I thought I was gonna get dizzy.

kbrew8991 · 07-26-2009, 02:18 PM

wow, that guy could really stand to learn how to use the whole track... car handles real nice on those straights though

If you search the youtube site for this video and the person that uploaded the same, they are modified RHD MR2's.

Initially, when I viewed the video, I wondered whether the car with the camera had a battered front end given its line into the corners, i.e. fastest way through the corner is to bump your competition at the apex, and that the other car's didn't contest the passes to save their cars for another day.

that video is like the Blair Witch project.

Recklesss · 07-27-2009, 06:15 PM

...............is that a reverse-vented frunk?

psuPbikeRider88 · 07-28-2009, 07:27 PM

Pretty cool. Seems like you've got a pretty descent horsepower/weight advantage there (nice). Could use to widen your entry to the turns a bit.. could prolly shave a descent amount off your lap time doing that by carrying a little more speed into and out of the turns. Nice driving though. I liked hearing that mk3 bounce rev limiter as you drove past him lol.

That wasn't him. Just a random video on youtube.

Yozuki Ri · 07-29-2009, 11:22 PM

That guy is doing something weird with his racing lines - I'd say he has more torque at the wheels or something.
