    I love how Mark speaks - very direct and VERY specific with his word choice. Doing it on the fly without pause is not easy but it's second nature when you're speaking from a knowledge base with so much experience.
    Great video, thanks guys!

    Watching the Veloster closing the gap to the Challenger was satisfying.
    Also the McLaren entering the track at 3:35

    • @Basics_of_Gameology
      @Basics_of_Gameology 4 года назад +6

      I see no McLaren...
      The one leaving the track is a Ferrari 488GTB.
      The one entering the track with a blue/green colour is a Nissan 350Z.
      The one entering the track with a red colour is possibly a Honda Civic Type R FK8.
      And the last car entering the track with a pale blue is a Lamborghini Huracan Performante Spyder...

    great instructor. i track awd cars. fwd is a little tricky, lots of trail braking. great to learn on. very little chance of wiping out. pain in the ass controlling tire temps though since the fronts handle acceleration and cornering. i used to run straggered wider fronts on my integra to induce a little entry oversteer.

    What a difference proper driving instruction makes to lap times. Almost 3 seconds faster a lap is massive. Running 3 seconds faster a lap could like adding slicks or 100hp to a car, which of course is a lot of money. I did really like the pro drivers comments about lap consistancy

  • @Slays_Media

  • @thekeccles1996
    @thekeccles1996 4 года назад +5

    Fantastic to see what a difference good instruction can make in terms of lap times. Everyone's so focused on what mods you need to make to your car to go faster, it's so easy to forget what a big factor the driver is.
    Driver mods knocked 2+ seconds off Yuri and Jakub's laps, and on a tight track that's ages worth of difference! Awesome video, guys 👍

    Never been to a race track, but this guys guidance is specific for Veloster, which seems similar to rear setup. My stock setup that understeers would require lots of stabs on the brake to help rotate rear end and lower gears for sharp input to help with weight transfer. (and really good front pads & rotors to compensate for the none track setup). Not a fan of front drives that are made to behave like rear drive. It means that they'll suck on the streets.

    Hey, Yuri and Jakub :) I've been a huge fan of the channel since the GTI video last January. I'm 19 years old, about to enter my second year in college and ready to buy my first car. After looking diligently for the past 6 months, I've come up with 6 options within my $5-7k budget: A MK5 Golf GTI or R32, Mazdaspeed 3 (either gen), or a Lexus IS/GS 300 between the years 2000 and 2005. Can either of you help me out with deciding from these or give some advice/alternatives? My criteria is pretty straight forward: seating for 4, fun to drive, somewhat fuel efficient, winter worthy, and affordable in insurance and maintenance. Thanks again for bringing us such good content and here's hoping to 1,000,000 subs by the end of the year.
