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. |

I think it's the nature of the beast. On a race track you have a limited number of turns that you memorize and run repetitively. You learn the course and become smooth. On a hillclimb the course is too long and you don't get enough runs to really learn the course and become smooth. I think the guy was just making minor course corrections while driving close to the limit. FWIW

QUOTE(Borderline @ Aug 12 2011, 09:10 AM)  I think the guy was just making minor course corrections while driving close to the limit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Look at any good rally driver and watch them drive on different surfaces. On a rough or slippery surface, there is no "smooth" steering. This is not your off the mill nice road-race course with perfect asphalt, this is a real road driven at 9/10. Without the sawing at those speeds, you'd in the weeds in no time. You constantly need to correct. Heck, go back and watch the video of the guy at the Nürburgring in the rain that was posted here a week ago and look at him. He was "sawing" the whole time ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Another good analysis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) And if you want to see it real time, come to one of the West Coast hill climbs and bring your machine. It is just something you got to do. |
