phunky_monkey Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Yeah, the quick spike of revs sounded like that was what happened. I'm surprised Steve can correct oversteer with the sort of grip he uses, don't think I could! But to each their own.

kingscorp Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 no powersteering and big slicks would make it very hard to steer I think Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283713-spicers-cup-s13-footage/page/2/#findComment-4775985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 All logic goes out the window in the wet....fark knows how to drive a car quick in the wet Especially on slicks, a light car and damp...with a car pulling away in front so you just want to push on and cath him Me? I would have been ff at turn 3 lap 1 The only thing constructive i can say is you either drive the thing mega straight off boost and light throttle openings so as not to slide the thing...OR you just punt the thing sideways on every corner...you are sliding it and anticipating the slide so it doesnt catch you out and also helps throw heat into the tyres ....lol listen to me, it works when i drive go karts in the wet Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283713-spicers-cup-s13-footage/page/2/#findComment-4775993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N I B Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 When a guy can pass WAs best with ease early in his racing im not going to knock any driving. This car has very early boost making it hard in the rain on slicks. Keyboards are much easier to drive.

phunky_monkey Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 If you're referring to me then don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at all and I'm sure he is much more experienced and better driver than I am! Apologies if it was taken the wrong way but I did try and clarify with "to each their own", just saying it was a different style to what I'm accustomed. Was there much damage?

SRS13 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Brilliant car. Does it really need a 900hp RB26/30? lol Unfortunate accident though. It seems he was still on it as he was turning left and the rear end of the car just came around on him under boost. Not much he could have done in that instance. Do you have any external pics of it?

phunky_monkey Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 That's interesting as KW's had been on my list of struts to consider down the track (no pun intended). Is there anything in particular that you're not happy with?
