      +Chicken Soup They use racing lines, too, but the radius is so huge that it's really not obvious. It's also pretty impressive to see them chuck those heavy beasts around places like Sears Point and Road America.

    • @cautionfiamable
      @cautionfiamable 8 лет назад +35

      +Chicken Soup you sir are clueless. NASCAR drivers must follow an even more strict line than road courses. every NASCAR driver got their start as a successful driver somewhere else first and most certainly would make you look like a 3 year old downs patient on any track.

    • @computiNATEor
      @computiNATEor 8 лет назад +2

      +rob brown Hmm, I'm not sure I'd say that have a line that's more strict; however, any variations in that line will result in losing maybe a tenth of a second, which, while on a road course isn't a huge deal, on an oval that's massive. Some tracks like Charlotte, California, Homestead-Miami, etc have a variety of lines, any of which can be faster depending on the tires and setup.

    • @cautionfiamable
      @cautionfiamable 8 лет назад +5

      well said and my thoughts exactly. you must pick your line, where your car is fastest, and then like you said, if you fuck up one little bit, boom there goes 15 spots.

    I honestly have to say every show on the motortrend channel is just fantastic. Roadkill, Dirt everyday, ignition, etc. the hosts are great, they are very well produced, the have a great balance of humour and information. Even the ad reads are good because they can relate the ad to the original topic of the video. Definitely my favourite channel on RUclips.

    Can you guys do a video with the differences in the racing line for formula cars, street cars, brake zones, power out of corner areas for crappy brakes - big power, big brakes - crappy power, trail braking, and other factors and scenarios that I'm sure I'm not even aware of.....I LOVE the Motor trend content, I learn something new all the time, favorites are Roadkill, Racing Line, Ignition, etc, Keep them all coming! I think you guys should do a contest to do some hot laps with Randy, assuming he is ok after that explosion at 5:25!

  • @pascalmpower7944
    @pascalmpower7944 8 лет назад

    I would say arc length rather than radius. With same amount of traction or (same car) the wider you go, the more arc length you gain. Ie, entering a corner at 19.4 m/s with a turning angle of 20.93 degree with a track width of 17.6m, your arc length is about 98.3 meters (from turn in to apex) and 98.3 meters from apex to turnout. Speed increased to 19.6 m/s, with 0.23 degree gain due to mild over steer, arc length decreased to a shorter 98.29 meters from turn inm 98.29 from apex to turnout. One more try, speed increased to 24m/s which gains just 0.21 degree of turning angle due to under steer, arc length increased to 98.31 meters. So that, there's a certain speed that'll give you the best combine of steering angle and speed.
    So, mild over steer does cut the distance travelled. It's a good method. Just remember, more loosing (mild over steer or under steer) means less acceleration at turnout, especially for most AWD cars and this is why I have to point out why GTR is a good car with the rear wheel biased all wheel drive system.
    However, more speed with same amount of steering angle will cause you more time to travel. Although more speed means less brake, however, cornering distance depends more on lateral speed.
