Now here is one for the folks back East. To be honest driving that one at 9 tenths would be hairy. The guy in the Porsche had two wheels off at one point, but saved it. Also think he won. Counted 5 offs in the results. |

Is it just me or is there a bit too much "sawing" at the wheel going on there? I know there's not that much flex going on in the tires...
Made me uncomfortable watching it.... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Intentional sandbagging? Never happens! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Let's say for shits & giggles that each saw motion cost him a hundredth of a second. I'm guessing probably 2 tenths over the entire run. Fast car with a good setup can compensate for (some) less than stellar driving input. Check out his '09 Putnam video. He saws through most of the early race while he is leading. As the race wears on and he starts catching and passing the field, his driving becomes smoother. No doubt that he has skill. |
