hahaha I was thinking that the whole time. Damn you guys always beat me to everything. Wish the road was paved better.

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

two hands. on a group drive last summer i almost lost it on a long sweeping hair pin cause i was trying to one hand it.

 

Wow... safety's definitely not a priority there, is it? An event like that would require a full roll-cage plus additional safety equipment if it was held in the US. And a car definitely wouldn't be allowed on course with junk rolling around in the floorboard.

And +1 to the hand on the e-brake comments. I didn't watch half the video, because I was so distracted by that. I was waiting for you to yank the e-brake and send the car into a flat spin.

Thanks for posting, though.

 

i was waiting for the drifto!

 

The road was actually pretty good, just some dirt at the beginning of the course, that's all.
Here's a picture of the road:



About the footwell, I just had my hat and a plastic bag (it's a big one 'cause it's where I stored the helmet). It wasn't something hazardous.

And I didn't thought you guys would make such a big deal about the hand break. I did use 2 hands on the corners where I thought I could loose it, but the fact is I fell more comfortable driving this way.

BTW this guy Wakisaka on this best motoring video has my same "bad habit"
Video

 

^^^^Wakisaka doesn't necesarilly have the bad habit at all, he is not constantly doing that, i am sure he isn't in a Formula Nippon Car, etc.

but even if he does it, he is a professional driver, plain and simple.

the reasoning behind it makes sense, stabilizing yourself while driving, but the negative effects it allows don't seem worth it, just get used to the horizontal forces. or get a better seat.

 

Your clutch skreeches just like mine lol....anyone know what that is?

 

Plain and simple, using 2 hands allows better feel and more control. If your hand isn't rowing the shifter, it should be on the steering wheel. You said you used 2 hands on the few turns you thought you were going to loose it, if you're going fast enough you can loose it in every turn.

And watching one Pro drive in poor form, doesn't mean all do.

Awesome video non the less and good work!

 

yadda yadda Im sure he gets the point of both hands on the steering wheel and not everyone that comes in here has to tell him that 50 billion times. Id rather see a vid than no vid at all. Stop being so nit picky.....
