Mountain carving in my e30 (video)

Aight guys, we all could use some driver's schools. I know i need to, but have no plans for it in the near future because of my current funds. I have bigger fish to fry than that.. The point is, if he can drive it well at a comfortable speed, then do that for now. You dont need drivers training to be a good driver. Good driving comes with experience.

Nice video and editing by the way, turned out really good!

What qualifies as experience? How many tickets? Accidents (god forbid)?

That's exactly my point, you can't get the experience on the road that you could on the track, esp. with an instructor.

And if you don't know the full extent of the capabilities of your car, you should not be doing any sort of "carving", until you learn what you need to know, off the road, on the track.

Why save up for a BBK (as Jordan professes he is doing) when you could get BMWCCA driver's school?

Aside from fucker5er's rants, nice vid Jordan...

I am very glad to know you know how to do matched downshifts.

No rants, just common sense.

Now, apply more spf 0 and sit out in the sun for another 8 hours.

when you're done, pay horse his dues.

Nice vid, although I reckon it would have been better if your camera man was sitting in the back seat. Gives a greater sensation of speed and you get to see the driver at work 8)

What are you revving your car out to? Only sounds like 4 grand or so, maybe it's dodgy sound recording...

on any of the outside view corners, 2nd is revved to 6500.

on the final stretch 3rd is revved to 6500.

It's really sad how everyone is just shooting this guy down like what he is saying is more retarded than 95% of the misinformed posts on this site.

I heard that if you armor-all the tread on your tires its good for extra grip in corners?!?!?!?

And before I carve mountain roads, I like to loosen my lug bolts.

Farker, ignore the children who have no understanding of what you're trying to say.

EDIT: Thanks for the moving/under load sound clips.

constant throttle through corners is also your best friend....

Well, obviously if he wasn't on a track turning better lap times than some F1 car and posting two page long lists of his driving school experience, he would most likely get flamed all to hell.

I love the way these forums work. :)

All this is going to do is turn into a "well, I've driven on a track more than you so I'm better than you" fight. Stupid.

Face it. There IS a difference between on and off track driving.

The truth hurts. ;)

ahh who gives a fuck, i just got back from the local twisties with a big smile on my face :D

[Matto]

I think this is the first time I have seen anyone mention driver school on this forum. All of a sudden everyone is like drivers school is what you need!!! Wierd.

[Kondour]

Well there should would be alot less totalled cars on the forum but then again, its never your fault when u crash... Isnt that funny how that happens?
