what was ur nav doing to prevent sliding over into the shifter? knee restrant or something?
-
Amazing car control. It reminded me of Glen Seton in the Nissan Skyline Turbo many years ago in the wet across the "top of the Mount". Well done Dean. Seemed like a huge amount of understeer.
-
WOW Nice driving. I was clenching my buttcheaks watching this!!!
-
Understeer & oversteer..fuckin splippery road..great job, mate!

listen to his breathing, he was working really hard.
-
Jeez that looked slippy.... some horrid understeer moments at times!
Good job though!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Noticed your left leg was hitting/pressing the shifter, I've made some simple modifications to my Lotus shifter that raised it about 4-5 inches and moved it away from my leg (much eaiser/better feel) and as far as I know it doesn't violate and spec rules (so far).
I can see a sequential box being a huge help in these types of racing events. - Rob

I liked this vid a lot, although never really thought about how narrow is the interiror of an elise or elise-derived car, you left leg is constantly pushing against the gearknob!

What do the numbers corresponding with the corners mean? Are they simply the degree of the turn?
ITP09 2 years ago 2
Yes, a 1 is a hairpin, 3 is a right-angle, and a 10 is a corner that's almost a straight. The other numbers relate to distance in metres: "50, 3Left long into 3Right late" means 50 metres until a 90-degree left, then immediately into a 90 degree right.

Well done mate! Was the stage wet and you had so much understeer? Excellent car control when "powersteering"! 8)
You really made my day, since I 've ordered a Cup 260 to be delivered next month! :)
Cheers,
Theo

Yeh, the road was very slick but remember the tyres are dead cold at the start of a stage - the Kumhos we were running were simply brilliant and quick to warm and grip. Without those V70 tyres we wouldn't have been as quick. And look for the surface change part way up where it gets slippery again. Hell of a ride - you're going to love the Cup 260!
