No, I have not seen that one; I will have to look it up. thanks for the tip.

I did some gymkhana racing back in my younger years....but my little MG could BARELY spin the tires! That was awesome!

 

[Silli]

Very skillful............ :y115:

 

[Dilligaf]

Car racing is for guys too chicken to race motorcycles....LOL

Except for the drifting and spinning stunts, which have nothing to do with going fast, looks like a fairly typical, experienced autocross driver in a wimpy car. All you need is a good HP to weight ratio and a good 5 point harness. 530 hp at the wheels ain't nothin'; I see numerous Vette's at amateur autocross races with 800-1,200 RWHP that weight less than this econo-sedan. This is strictly for the teenage Jap car enthusiast who thinks his Civic with a fart can is hot.

How often do you need to use the donuts around a guy on a Sedgeway skill?

 

[CarlS]

Of course you are right. But the skill and experience to use that HP in conjunction with steering and holding the line within the barriers is quite awesome.
