    Seems pretty easy when all the passes are rocketing past the 4 cyl cars at 30 mph higher speeds on the straights.

    • @hippyjason

      In a straight line, yes, but the 1500's are actually faster in the corners due to their much lighter weight. A well-driven 1500 class car can get overall race wins (and, in fact, have done so), especially on the more twisty tracks.
      Miller earned it fair and square.

      @@hippyjason look at lap times for well driven SR3's vs. SR8's at COTA, it's not even close. 2:07's for the V8 cars vs. low 2:20's for the 1500cc 4 cyls.

      @@Jkan2001 Yeah, you are only proving my point that it is highly track dependant. COTA is big track that has a lot of longish straightaways between it's turns, only one with heavy braking; it's way more of a power track than you would think it would be at first glance. So advantage V8's at COTA.

    Very nice driving but it looks like other cars are way slower on straights. Are those SR-3 cars and you are in SR-8 ?

      Yes, this is multi class racing, so there is a mix of SR3 and SR8s!

    I think the 'issue with the fuel pump' was they fitted a much larger one for the race.. look at his straight line speed!! I'm guessing this is a same class race so all should be equal. 🤔

    damn nice. run. why did you appear to have so much more power than everyone. on the infeild i could understand the driver mod, but on the back stretch its just drag racing. i assumed Radicals were a spec series. engines at least?

    • @bekermario
      @bekermario 3 года назад

      The apparent power comes from both carrying speed into the corners and getting on the gas early. It was pure momentum vs the other Radicals. That's my 2Cents and I'm sticking with it.
