      If I could go back in time, I'd show this car to Jochen Rindt and see how he drives it. But I think he'd shy away, thinking it was an alien space car from another galaxy! Still, I would love to see him do a few laps in it. He won the GP of Monaco with an obsolete car! The Lotus 72 should have been ready when he showed up at Monaco but Chapman was forced to use a super modified 49 and NOBODY thought Rindt had even the slightest chance of coming in second. But he drove the wheels off the car and took Black Jack Brabham by surprise, pulling off what must have been one of the biggest upsets in the race's history.

      @germanenglishengineer2054 8 лет назад +16

      +EVOLICIOUS That was genius! I love it & could get used to it. I also love the paddle shift gearbox system too. The prototypes have been using it for a while, but since the GT cars have had it installed, it's a lot easier on these competitors. Of course, paddle shift does come with its own fair share of problems too, but concentration is not one of them since there's no more gear shift handle to look for while looking straight ahead.

      +EVOLICIOUS Amazing? The only thing left is for that software to help him steer perfectly in corners and tell him when to throttle and brake, like a virtual racing line
      It's pathetic
      I understand that it's a safety measure like a radar, to tell the driver what's going on behind and on his sides, but im pretty sure many records have been established and many races won and many MANY great drivers formed without any single help of that sort. It's utterly pathetic. And as an software engineer i do value the amount of work that goes into all of that, specially the part of recognizing a car and marking it with an arrow. But as a huge racing fan, this kills the sport itself.

    • @evolicious
      @evolicious 8 лет назад +16

      João Agnelo Sorry, I misunderstood. Your point (apart from your complete lack of knowledge on the tech these cars have) is essentially that in the earlier days, without the assistance tech, made better drivers with a higher difficulty. I strongly disagree and you should reconsider the difficulty of driving at night in a much more demanding and powerful car than the GT series has ever had. Even with the tech today, these cars are still raw in input and much higher in difficulty than ever before. I suggest you refrain on commenting on things you lack any knowledge of, I makes you look like a complete idiot. Especially when you think being a software engineer has any value to the topic. LOL!

    • @evolicious
      @evolicious 8 лет назад +6

      João Agnelo LMAO! I can understand you are having a hard time trying to win an argument you lost the second you decided to comment about something you have no idea about. Next time, ask a question instead of making a statement, you will appear as a moron otherwise. I would certainly love to tell you about ICD tech in the GT3 cars, I'm very involved and well informed in this sport (unlike you), but hey, why not have someone give you a visual tour of why you are a complete moron trying to compared apples to oranges. (/watch?v=kGAHwzz_RgA), (/watch?v=mqAidRjWsyg) the racing channel goes into a lot of detail with the tech in some of their videos, (/watch?v=XGiBwgdR9qk), Also here is some info on the Porsche 991 gt3 ICD (similar to most gt3 setups) cosworth.com/about/case-studies/porsche-991-supercup/.

      I even love the fact it identifies cars which are coming up fast - note the yellow arrow on cars in the same class or below, but the red arrow on prototypes coming up behind. There's been some scary crashes at Le Mans in recent years where GT cars just didn't spot a prototype coming up behind them, so this kinda tech is very useful.

    • @mikhailman
      @mikhailman 10 лет назад +10

      TonyR03 IMHO i think its due to a max torque around 5500-6000RPM. at those speeds on 6th gear there really is no point stressing the engine further. But what do i know... Maybe its just practice and the car is not set up correctly atm.

    • @TonysRacing600
      @TonysRacing600 10 лет назад +8

      ghosthunter2006 Ok, this is a point I didn't think of, I mean it's a 24 h race, the engine should not be overly stressed if it was not useful.
      I also thought of slipstream and wind from behind but since there were only 1 or 2 shifting lights on in 6 th gear I thought even that wouldn't be enough to reach the limiter.
      Maybe the lesser fuel usage is also a fact which makes it reasonable to spare some RPM.

      @aj_theshark 9 лет назад +10

      William Scott That would get too far away from stock cars. Today's stock car racing is already far advanced than the average production car. Rear view cams would only alienate the blue-collar fan base more as rear view cams are somewhat of a luxury. I think this technology is awesome in this racing series as this series boasts advanced technology. But, it might be a bit much for NASCAR. We're as far from true stock cars (for safety and competition reasons) as we can get; let's not push it.

    Already knowing the outcome of the race never has an effect on the level of angst that bubbles inside me watching these Corvette Driver's Eye videos. Seeing the car pull into the pit for the first time made me feel like a school boy who just got his first bicycle for Christmas. Watching the shift lights, rear view camera & arrows, seeing the 1-2-3 glances while passing, hearing the revs & downshifts, it all just grabs hold of something on the inside of me.

    What amazes me is their ability to alter their braking points depending on traffic, etc. I watched closely and it was not identical any 2 laps in a row. That is remarkable and must require a ton of concentration and understanding of both the car and track.

      MrDjvas I feel like it’s much harder going into professional motorsport from a street scene. Most professional drivers these days have been doing any sort of motorsport (mainly go-karting) all their life competing in national tournaments and they might get lucky like Hamilton and get picked up by mclaren at the age of thirteen.
