ELVA164 i love that lotus you have pic's posted anywhere? thats some good driving and damn to shift fast! great driving.

Kovs that audi was just put pushed through the limit. Is bumping the limiter like that acceptable while racing?

good god Wh33lhop that supra drives like a boat. i think the driver should move the seat back just a little... looks a little crammed. Good shit keeping that car on the track :bow:

Thanks! I'm still really new so I know there's a lot of work to do, but hearing positive feedback is always encouraging! I'll see what pictures I can find.
I dunno how far from Summit Point you are, but if you're around Thanksgiving weekend and hate being around your family the whole time, you should stop by!

It is not a good idea to use the limiter with any regularity. It's only there to keep the motor from over-revving and damaging the valvetrain and moving parts. Hitting the limiter causes a (momentary) loss of power and upsets the car physically.

Gotta love RWD rallying...

I sent out my entry for the VRG Turkey Bowl at Summit Point today, so here's a celebratory clip of my last run in the Cortina. It's not very impressive compared to everything else here, but whatever. I can't wait! :D

You are pretty quick, not bad. Hard to tell what's going on with that resolution and the fact that the wheel is off-center but what I do see is good with a few excusable errors. Next time don't mess up and try to heel-toe! ;)

Haha, thanks. I dunno what happened with the resolution, it's from uploading. The wheel is a bit off-center, but we haven't had the time to straighten it out. If only it had a steering rack...

I did heel-toe though! My missed 3-2 downshifts were entirely my fault, but due more to me missing 2nd and hitting the reverse gate. This was my second session, by the next day I had it 100%. Thanks for the support though! I'll make sure to get some clips from my next event posted so that I can (hopefully) show my improvement.

That is the video I was looking for. He has to be one of the best E30 M drivers I have ever seen.

So it would appear that Donington in the wet just breeds awesome driving:

[Nsquared97]

^That is some awesome racing!

BTW this has to be my favorite thread on here right now.

I totally agree! :D

I was in the mood for some Juan Manuel, so here are a few of my favorite clips of El Maestro:

Monaco in the Lancia-Ferrari


Dueling with Black Jack in the legendary W196


Testing the venerable Maserati 250F in Modena

That thing sure does move, looks like it really pushes in the low speed corners though.

This is what happens when you give about zero craps about the track being wet (try your best to ignore Murray Walker):

It makes over 700 at the wheels. Pretty neat for a privateer.

This is a little more proper. And damn does it sound evil.

[ELVA164]

Very cool. Fun to watch the pedal cam too. It's interesting that he doesn't need to fully lift for upshifts. I wonder if that has to do with a dogbox/sequential transmission...
