There's a massive difference between feeling the track and just pulling levers, so I rather doubt he's done it IRL, but he's definitely farmed the **** out of that course.
Was that the one that you could launch off cliffs through the gaps in the walls? Me and my cousin spent hours just doing that to see who could damage the car the most.
I love how laid back actual professionals are. Those dudes looks totally at ease while narrowly avoiding death at the highest possible speeds for a given course.
Because you have to be at ease. You're not gonna get anywhere if you're constantly panicking. Seriously. Panic in a rally car and you'll be dead before you realize it.
While I agree with your statement, I didn't say that I'm impressed that they don't panic, I was remarking at how completely relaxed they are. Whenever I have fun around corners I usually grip the wheel much tighter shift harder, and remain much more ridged in general, but I'm not panicking. These guys are still gentle with everything like they're going to the market, and from what I've heard they are actually comfortable to ride along with, whereas a good (but not master) driver will get a worse time and scare the **** out of you the whole way.
If you mean mentally comfortable, you're probably right.
There's just no way it would be physically comfortable driving a rally course full speed. Car ******* shakes and jumps all over the place man
But I can see you being right about it not being that scary and mentally exhausting, riding with a world class driver. Despite the fact you're dead if he loses focus for an instant.
I saw some documentary a while ago, about some drifters riding mountain passes and the dude doing the documentary was so done after a few rides with those. And then he rode that famous dude, keiichi tsu-something, later on and he said he was relatively relaxed because it felt like the driver had the car in complete control at all times.
do you remember what it was called? kinda feel like watching it again now, but watched it without my ADD meds some dont remember **** all about it except for like a few scenes, and vague impressions
I tried to find it again when I posted #18 but failed. If i remember it right it was in Japanese with Japanese dubbed over the rally driver who was speaking in English. They were racing on snow as well if I recall, with the Japanese dudes in their tricked out EVO and the WRC champion in his WRC spec EVO
nah not same thing then what i watched was some american dude and a japanese dude, and im pretty sure the drivers, including keiichi, spoke japanese most of the time.
I don't know where you are from but if your from the UK, but there is a charity that help people play game with physical disabilities and I remember before they helped some one play WOW just using his head. Even if you not in the UK the websites is worth a look into and they even might point you to a similar organisation in your country. www.specialeffect.org.uk/
Its a racing sim rather than the arcadey physics of previous dirt games. Let me tell you this game isn't a walk in the park, even with assists on and everything. Or maybe i just suck.
