The Pyramid of Speed

[Scotsman]

Hypothetically:- If it takes you 500 laps to put out a good lap and I go and do the same lap in under five laps who is the better driver? I know who i'd hire as my pofessional race car driver.

I'd say that i'm a natural at it, and your 500 lap driver would probably only be able to put out 1 out of 50 hot laps in his first bathurst, and therefore wouldn't be compedative. But your right, at the end of the day we can both go just as fast round the same track if we both went to a sprint day.

However if you could go out and be fast in a couple of laps and consistently lap within a couple of tenths of a fast time you really would be considered for a drive.........

Personally I think this Pyramind thing is only a bit of fun but it seems one of us is taking it a little bit to serious. To the gentleman that send me the Mod message,,,I don't think this thread is discriminating,,,enjoy posting your objections,,,I know I'll love reading them. Just keep in mind I have done or helped in almost every form of motor sport. Rallying would be the only one I haven't touched,because I don't like fixing cars in the mud.

so, by the Pyramid of Speed, you could deduce, generally, that all racers are wankers!

lol.

*dreams of the day when he can afford to be at the top of the pyramid*

[GTRgeoff]

So therefore you could by association label anyone with dreams of doing more or better or having nice things a wanker.......

[jezzerrr]

correcto! lol

did I mention I also love (the idea of) drifting? and time trials?(targa, rally etc)

I'm just one big wannabe wanker really :Pimp2:

[GTRgeoff]

and so I'd say are all the rest of us

lol the funny thing is all the people at the top of such a pyramid started out at the bottom and are now in denial they were ever at such a low state.

the drifting thing is really funny.

ahhh i remember when i was 5 and thought any car with a spoiler was cool... then i remember when i hated spoilers and my taste was too sophistcated for them. now i have reached the compromise of a factory rear lip.

btw atm im probably in the hills spirited drive whilst not cutting the line of the lane section of the pyramid.. waiting to progress to the track day stage

Missing 'the true spectator' from the pyramid.

He sits at the top using us as his entertainment, paying to see us 1&2) get busted by the cops. 3,4,5,6) crash or chuck a tantrum at the side of the road while another competitor tries to runs us over.

[Majanal]

LOL... Funny read!

[CrimsonLey]

Just found this. Very funny.

I wonder how it compares almost 10 years later.

[Nee-san]

Pretty well, drifting is still Homo,

[Duncan]

ahh it's been a while....lots of long lost names in this thread.

interesting that time attack had a spot on the pyramid 8 years ago
