I do H+T like Senna! cool! not that I drive anything at the moment tho [:^(] Senna used to kick Schumachers arse all the time before he died. Often in a slower car.
F1 European GP at Donington in 1993. Senna`s finest hour to many people and without doubt THE finest lap in F1 history. He was also racing a vastly inferior McLaren MP4/8. Senna was and remains the most accomplished F1 driver of all time. Schumacher may have beaten all his records now but lets face it, modern F1 cars are simpler/easier to drive and 50% of Schumachers talent/success is due to the Ferrari. I apologise, yes I am an F1 geek. Edited by: superden
gotta say, now that i have a mkII, that its not a problem, easy as pie. guess gary must have weird feet! i love the way ayrton stabs at the throttle....no one else every has, or every will, be able to use that technique and be quick. its truely mind blowing.
I can do it in the mk2, it's just a lot easier to h+t in Claire's car (and sounds 10000 times better at the same time)
I'm guessing thats the one where he was faster than everyone else even though they had stopped for wet tyres and he was still on slicks (the old fashioned ones with NO grooves) and it was p1ssing down, track looked like a lake Edited by: Jeff
talking of nsx hondas ive a wicked video play of one against some rather naughty supercars... dont have a clue how to hyperlink it etc so if u want it pm me then il send it to ya!
Oops, I tried googling the file name I have for i cos I don't have the link I downloaded it from. Might find it on google with BestMotoring_NSX-R_NurburgRing.avi well worth it
I've seen it before if it's got the views of incar, pedals and clocks? Will try and find it again as it's a good vid
That sequence is awesome... A bucking, sideways monster car with 80s-tech tyres and brakes, and he makes it look so simple... I've watched it over and over, in complete awe... He's my hero
Whilst we are posting up videos. I found this rather nice one of Derek Bell driving round the Nurburgring. He does the commentary as well. Here. Enjoy Jamie P.S. Nice slippers Aryton Edited by: Yorkie
The thing that gets me every time I watch GrpB footage is how much of a spectacle it is. I would have gladly stood in mud, rain, snow and freezing cold to see them fly past. Would I stand in the same conditions to see a modern rally car ? Would I f*ck I`m afraid to say that the days of GrpB gravel eaters and F1 cars like the 1400+ BHP turbo monsters has gone and will never come again.
While they were more spectacular and looked fast, a modern WRC car is actually faster through the same stage as the old grpB cars, modern tyres, suspension and transmission all make for a quicker rally car. On the DVD I bought, David Sutton says that they were an amazing spectactle and he understood why people trapsed through a cold wet british forest to see the Quattros thunder past with 2ft of flame coming out of the exhaust
If you can find them there are loads of vids on Bestmotoring and/or with that in the file name. The Climb Dance peugeout Pikes Peak one is also excellent to see
