Yea well you'd think that a Formula 1 car would be able to break the record, sheesh.
Track record for what? I saw a kart doing better times than that at ECR.
Let's all dog pile ::Banana::
Thanks for the post channelmaniac
Just one question: Did they hire the City of Arlington to do the road surface? :D

Now if I could get each and every one of my green students to watch this video and see how he sets the steering wheel and pretty much leaves it alone. (other than minor adjustments) He is not hacking or sawing the wheel. I definitely learned something from him in turn 10. It is all about patience and getting the car rotated!!! I know most you already knew that, but an impatient SM guy, my throttle is an on/off switch most of the time!:burnrubr:
Actually, that's not an F1 car at all. It's a Star Mazda, powered by a bone-stock RX-8 engine.Quote:

Yea an F1 would've been 20-30 seconds faster. Didn't know it was a rotary either though. Also wasn't trying to dogpile, just saying I've seen a guy drive that track with his ass maybe two inches off the ground and thought he was doing 1:36's or 1:37's.
He was driving this-----v
Where is the suspension, lol? how many cc in that thing?
There isn't any, at least not the way you're thinking. The "suspension" is typically in tire pressure and adjusting the flex of the chassis.Quote:
