LOL I have no fucking clue how to do that. I could probably figure it out. Meh... Fuck 'em... YouTube gets nothing and likes it!
I'm watching Indy racing and I think I'd like to try open-wheel racing again now that they have the halo. I've driven an F3 car for part of a weekend (at a school) and it was awesome - but terrifying.
LoL I can only imagine how terrifying that would be.
And then a caution fucks you...
A few lucky devils had just come in the pits - they'll now be in at the front of the pack.
Strategy pays. Also, shit luck pays off. This was a combination of the two. Some pitted 'cause it was about time and as soon as they did it went FCY for a wreck.
That's pure luck, you can't know when a wreck is coming
There's one exercise called 'Follow The Leader" and it's exactly what you expect - you are generally one on one and you're to follow the instructor as close as you can. So, I tucked up under their gear box as much as I could but seeing them get a fraction of an inch away from the wall at 130 to 150 mph made me REALLY worried. I was pretty sure he was going to wreck and I was going to catch an F3 car straight to the fucking helmet.
It's also an exercise in trust, I suppose. You have to trust the other drivers to do the right thing, otherwise you'd be riding your brake the whole way around the track, going maybe 30 mph, 'cause the crazy drivers around you are all morons doing things that come to close to the limits.
Alas, he did not wreck and I didn't get hit in the helmet with an F3 car... But, it was just a matter of time. I mean, eventually they're gonna wreck. It's just numbers. It's gonna happen.
By the way, I picture an F3 car to the helmet as being painful - regardless of how good the helmet is. It's just something that's gonna hurt.
An F3 car to the helmet could very well be fatal
