Wow, you guys are harsh.
Ever try running on public roads like that? Not easy. Think about he first time your ran a new track - you drove a round a bit searching for the perfect line, perfect apex, may have taken a bunch of laps. On these hillclimbs/tarmac rallies, many times the first time you see the corner is also the last. So you go with what you can see, as fast as you can. MAYBE a handful of practice runs, but not 30 minutes worth of laps. you don't get points for style, you win by speed, so sometimes you don't have the luxury of apexing quite right all the time. Oh, and the gravel, potholes, off camber, blind turns, etc are NOTHING like on a racetrack... Just a little perspective. Would love to see some in-car from this car. |
