WRC Onboards: Ireland 2009: Atkinson SS06 Requested by DXPetti

[nickcars100]

yea the term line means follow the racing line and cut means to take a closer line inside

[BingBong6240]

What does "line" mean? Does the term refer to staying on the racing line and cutting the apex (as opposed to the term i am familliar with "don't cut" which refers to keeping away from the apex because of some object in the racing line).

[lz3390]

Who do you think is reading him all the corners?

[Faststone85]

some one mind explaining the +/- added to the corners, TY

[enahel]

+ would mean accelerate while minis meaning back off.

[Faststone85]

Thank you Neahel. that was bothering me for a while now : )

[tomblord12]

or some cases it can mean elevation of the road. + meaning up and - down. this depends on the driver

[Faststone85]

That makes sense too, especially in a rally like Ireland, thanx

[greenh]

Oh so this is the new season. Thanks for clearing that up.

[greenh]

Doesn't Chris Atkinson drive for Subaru? This looks like a Citron car. Although is there another Atkinson on te citron team?

[zytekfan]

Subaru WRT ceased operation, so Chris is driving in select events for the Citroen Junior Team

[DXPetti]

Thanks for the upload :D

[vivski]

It's clear to see how easy it is to get caught out. Interesting that it happened on the first fast corner just after a tight complex... I wonder how often that happens. Much like the first tight corner after a series of fast bends, except then the co-driver is usually yelling at you so you take notice.

Sorry to see that Chris will not be in Norway. I really hope he makes it to Rally Oz in a competitive car.

[thekingproject87]

I like the pace notes of Atkinson, they are very detaild and, for me, help more then the others.

[BrnoutJerzey]

is this the same stage when loeb hit the cow? I always felt bad for the cow but couldn't stop laughing

[masternuclear]

q buena perspectiva

[leoncastillofam]

upaa parece que aplico el freno de mano en una curva no tan pronunciada..

[andrewwedlock1993]

do us hav ther rest of the stage  thanks class vid

[fischerdom]

wow, they are counting up to ten.

[danielbladh]

yeah you are right, I have never heard of that before. And he still uses phrases like tightens and minus. Only Atkinson doing this yet?

[EkkuZakku]

I've seen pacenotes like this before, I guess some drivers prefer a bit more descriptive pacenote system, I'm perfectly fine with 1-6 lol, but I can still understand 1-10 since it's only a few more numbers.

[SCUDERIA031]

Are you driving a rally or you just like phylosophy?

[fischerdom]

yeah i drive 1 to 6 rallys this year in Germany. the number of rallys just depends on the money i can earn. ;-)

[stickzilla]

the only reason you didnt hear tightens and minus is because most of them arent speakin english... they all have tightens and minus and plus.. its just in different language... petter solberg uses english pace note.. check him out

[luisalayza]

I use easy, fast, medium-fast and medium, as well as plus and minus, tightens, late and some others, but in spanish

I tried with numbers from 1 to 6 (6 the fastest) but I couldn't drive the same, I think each person has a way to visualize the curves when they hear something from the codriver

[drewster1971]

1 to 6 is colins old system, where its related to the gear you should be in to take that corner...I find it works well.

[luisalayza]

the problem is that you can have a 6 right ahead of a 3 left, and so the gear wouldn't be 6th. I think that guiding on the possible gears is very relative. Now I am using marks on the steering wheel when doing the recce, and always keeping the same speed. With this way I always have the same name for the same curve. But I think that putting more details on each curve (tightens, late, cut, keep right, etc) makes more accurate pace notes.

[vivski]

It seems like Chris uses 1-6 as the gear to use for the corner, and 7+ are just faster 6th gear corners.

[emifisa]

VEry nice drive

[theasu]

how to request a stage? :)
