That thing bangs the 1-2 shift pretty hard! I like watching his helmet in the side mirror, pretty violent.

not really...

pikes peak drivers go solo


of course they also know the course.

Rally drivers are only given occasional hazzards and directions in text with arrows, and rarely drive the course beforehand. They also only go off of what they see at the time and what the co-driver is screaming at them the entire time. Co-driver misses a turn, the driver misses a turn.

in car videos also look a lot faster than out of car videos.... meh

I must have that sickness, I've driven all kinds of cars. Too bad i'm stuck in this turd of a v6 at the moment lol.
My g/f tells me my car is fast and i tell her, "Are you kidding me? There are street-legal cars out there that will be pulling back around to the pits before my car even begins to think about passing the 60 ft mark."

Like you said, fast to one person may be completely different for another person.

I think the day i find out what "Too fast" truely is, will be the day i die. Or end up with a hefty medical bill anyway.

I don't think it is sped up. If you look at his helmet in the mirror it doesn't look sped up at all in the entire run.

That looks fun.

Isn't that car like a Le Mans prototype just built for that kind of racing instead of Le Mans?

I have no idea. It's not so much the top speed that's impressive
to me. It's the acceleration. That SOB is moving.

There's no way that vid is sped up. I can tell by the way his heads bobs around with the bumps, the way his hand moves from the steering wheel to the shifter, the way the ribbons are moving in the breeze at mid-track etc. The acceleration coming off of the corners would probably cause internal bleeding I want to drive that beast
