It would be nice to have a 'C P S' like that in the pass seat (Corner Positioning
System). Mine just keeps telling me I am going to fast or I just missed another parking spot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

WOW,
Try to follow what gear he's in thru the whole video. He's a mad man!!! petal to the metal. Reminds me of our trip thru Mt Rainer, WCR08. Except 150mph faster, and he didn't get lost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Tony |

QUOTE Other than bouncing off the rev limiter, the guy can drive. If you've got it, why not use it? I don't know..... I see the rev limiter as a protection device, not to be used instead of proper throttle technique. That he bounced against the limiter a few times shows how close to red-line he was throughout the drive. I still think you should respect the red-line and not depend entirely on the rev limiter. But his driving is insane - in a good way. His wheels are on the very edge of breaking loose on the early turns. And he takes a very aggressive line throughout the course. Sweet!

His throttle technique rocks. Many drivers use the rev limited in certain situations vs. constantly watching at tach etc., especially on major twisties like that. Compared to the 7 minutes in the run, he only hits the limiter a few times.
I honestly have no room to critique that guy. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) no time to watch the tach on a drive like that. you don't want to take your eyes off the road, even for a split second. you drive "by ear" (and shiftlight, if you have one) and hitting the rev limiter is not at all uncommon. in fact, in certain situations, it's *faster* to just keep the rpm up at the limit and maybe bounce on the rev limiter than upshifting. shifting costs time, and if you're close to a slower part, upshifting and then downshifting again will cost you more time than to just "ride it out" ...
