Rob Brodie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) not even just saying that.not the best of tracks but is definately not the easieste.g the first corner if you loose your back end then your going up the bank and can pretty say bye bye car Edited June 23, 2009 by Rob Brodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 meh. anyone could do it. why would you need to lose the back end anyways do they grease the corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Brodie Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) meh. anyone could do it. why would you need to lose the back end anyways do they grease the corner?very long tightish corner whats got a slight 'jump' to it,you have to wait for the car to grip back in and then floor it.hit the gas too early you get a wheelspin going and then you loose the back end (if you dont know how to get out of it)to put it lightly Edited June 23, 2009 by Rob Brodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 And, to be fair, anyone could drive around Silverstone, but just because anyone could do it doesn't mean they're going to rinse past Sebastien Vettel & Co. any time soon? Same for that hillclimb - you might be able to drive it, but being able to drive it fast is a completely different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 that track looks shit. my route to college is harder than thatTracks arn't ment to be 'hard' Ash, it's not like doing a massive gap or sidehop And, to be fair, anyone could drive around Silverstone, but just because anyone could do it doesn't mean they're going to rinse past Sebastien Vettel & Co. any time soon? Same for that hillclimb - you might be able to drive it, but being able to drive it fast is a completely different story.Exactly, it's about getting the very most from your car, being as smooth as possible, to bring it in in the quickest time you can!

Trials Punk Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Epic car fair play.But in the first vid, the second longish corner. He pussied out quite a bit! I could never justify spending that much money on a car, fuel, tyres and entry to pussy out on a corner like that.Seems like a case of all the gear, no idea to me.....

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Seems like a case of all the gear, no idea to me.....I was thinking that- car looks really fast and well put together but it looks like the driver is way off the limit. Edit; specifically for the second run in the second vid- he could've been on the gas much more for most of that run. Looks like fun though!!

Trials Punk Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 He just seems to lift off to much before coming into it. Meh. That last vid, floor was a bit damp. That westfield was giving it a bit, even with the damp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 ash watch this you can see what i meanbig mistake trying to correct it/turning into itMy dad did exactly the same thing in his old S1 lotus, except he then hit a wall at 50+ mph going backwards, then the car spun round and hit another wall going forwards... Needless to say the entire car was fooked. Elises aren't a particularly easy car to correct slides on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
