What's the racing line? I truly haven't ever heard of that. Can you point out specific instances in my video where this term applies? If you could take SS's and maybe make a few diagrams to illustrate the concept I would really appreciate it.
Wait! Was that your ACR next to your P1 at Santana Row a few coffees ago?
Purple metallic with an offset red stripe? Guilty as charged.
Ok let's dissect the beginning of turn two for example. First you need to open up the starting turn as much as possible while carrying as much speed as possible; not into the first apex but the second apex as you are exiting the two turns. So what you want to do in this situation is carry as much speed as possible into your second apex. Instead you lost speed by over correcting not once but 3 times while approaching the first turn and turning into the second apex. So instead of treating both turns as one, you took each turn separately from each other and this cost you precious time as you exit the second apex into the straight. Also your throttle input appears to be on and off. You seem to be pretty quick around the track but without learning proper technique, a guy that knows how to approach each turn will more than likely put better numbers than someone who simply wants to go fast without proper technique. So in my opinion rev matching is useless if at the end of the day you are still unbalancing your vehicle by over correcting both throttle and steering response towards the entirety of each turn, so in a way it kind of defeats the purpose of doing it in the first place.
My wife is so supportive about my car stuff, but she just doesn't understand the role purple plays in the panoply of muscle cars, hot rods and race cars.
Take a professional driving course. It's great fun and you'll learn a lot.
Sometimes the car chooses the color. The Viper just really appealed to me in Purple...My wife is so supportive about my car stuff, but she just doesn't understand the role purple plays in the panoply of muscle cars, hot rods and race cars.
it's less about protecting against tranny damage...rev matching on track is really done to insure that you don't upset the car's balance with the sudden addition of engine braking. If you are 'threshold' braking (ie. braking as hard as the car's mechanical grip will allow) and you add engine braking, you are going to go for an unwanted detour.
