    Watching Travis pitch this thing into the penultimate corner at FOS was just beautiful. At full-send speed, it pinged instantly and precisely into the smoothest four-wheel drift, just blowing air onto the straw bales on the inside and then he gathered it up and went onto set a really impressive time. What a wonderful blend of cartoon character and engineering substance.

    • @robinclaidlaw
      @robinclaidlaw Год назад +1

      The drones are faster than one might imagine, and have fearsome acceleration so the drone operator has at least some margin to intercept the moving car. There’s still a massive amount of skill needed but he can speed up or slow as required to get meet the car where he wants to.

    I do love that car. Its shape is very similar to a '91 VW Fox Wagon that I used to have. It had track ready brakes and suspension and bucket seats with four point harnesses. The engine was totally stock but I'd wind the hell out of it and use controlled understeer to absolutely rule all corners. It was the most fun going up hills. But going down I could beat any car on the road, stock engine and all. Many a Porsche gave up all hope on the roads down from Bonny Doon.
