YouTube - 260 secs in a Lotus Cup 260 - Targa Tasmania 2009

 

That's a cool video. Makes you want to go out and DRIVE!

 

yeah, no kidding. And its raining here to!

Think a little bit of oversteer on the way home should do it.

 

It was mighty impressive how easily he caught up to and passed that GT3. Awesome video!

 

It makes me wonder 2 things. What kind of tires was he running? I need to read up on what that navigation stuff means? I'd love to do that (Targa Newfoundland) but I need to find a good navigator...

Thanks

Awesome. I thought he started out a little slow at carrying momentum through some of those corners, but he picked it up.

 

Amazing video! He was driving on the limit! Huge kudos for doing that on such a tight and especially wet road.

 

Probably Yokohama A048 LTS or similar. Sliding around too much for it to be much else.

There's no defined standard for rally navigation, it's generally a system that the driver and navigator work out. Basically the navigator is telling the driver what kind of turn is coming up next, how fast (generally what gear) to take it, and alerting him to any hazards.

Kind of heartening to see a guy that tall wrestling an Exige. My knees end up about where his are with a helmet on in that car.

 

Kumho tyres.

At the start of the stage his tyres were to cold so he was under steering, once heat got into em, he started picking the pace up.
