And, while great to watch, almost never do you get a 'fast' lap, let alone a 'mad qualifying' lap. I find the wet laps the most fun, Cheever at Detroit, Depailler at Montreal: laps where they really had some fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7Jm4jNUjzs < Cheever! Wheelspin, opposite lock, gimme that car and track combo with good physics and life is complete..

And when they DO floor it in those vids.. oh my!

LOL listen at all that wheelspin and see all that countersteering! =)

Don't know did the drivers have fun in those conditions, might look like it but must be extremly hard to drive or then the drivers simply mad more balls back then.

True.. In a good sim (shame the 79 mod runs on ISI physics) though, I would have fun

"Dear sorry tyres!" Tiff in the Z06 (wrong aspect ratio but still..)

The Senna lap from Suzuka is one if the first mad laps recorded with an onboard cam it's absolutley stunning and dare I say it the DVD is well worth buying (even if it's supporting FOM).

This one's a crash compilation, but isn't a sequence of moments of impact set to metal or techo music. It shows the leadup and sometimes post analysis of what happened. Good stuff by the dude that put it together.

I finally found the full lap Montreal in the Wet, 1978. Depailler, thank you!

It might just be me but I only had the last minute in lower quality.

Definitely worth getting the video using www.keepvid.com as fullscreen playing over VLC is smoother and uses 75% less CPU than fullscreen Youtube !

Thats one of the best motorsport vids ever!
Great classic.

Wow, thx. Only had a much shorter version.

notice that it has also part 2 and part 3.

I did, but it was too late to watch them. Will have a look tonight.

amateur rally drivers + snow and ice + steep hill = fun

It may just be unclear because of the video quality but he appears to be on slicks

I am watching that video daily and yes it DOES appear he's using slicks! That explains the wheelspin in all gears.. Surprisingly controllable though even with wheelspin!

Tried watching it, but I can't because of the music. Someone decided that cars don't make sound but that there should rather be music. And because other videos also have music that someone decided to make this one special by playing two different songs at the same time. I just can't watch it.

Why oh why can't they just let the engine sound be? *sighs*

Vain

im sorry for your trauma. try skipping the vid till 5:30 where other song starts playing.

hahhaha how cool, cool video Don.

i was like LOL when those guys were falling down xD

Thought some people might like this rendered movie about Senna.

damn nice, would be nice to see original (hires) version of this.

Lovely vid just music would have been better than the unmatched sounds though

cant you just hit download at the side of the page?

I ripped this vid of v8 supercars yesterday. It's some onboard of Mark Skaife and the presentator is explaining why Skaife taps his brake pedal before being in the brakezone, something I never understood until a few pages back in this topic.

Did I understand that the right way: He taps his brake pedal before being in the brakezone to build up some break pressure, that he has more/optimal brakepower in the coming brakezone?

More to check that he has brakes (just a confidence thing) and partly to close up the gap between disc and pad, so that the brakes work as soon as he hits the pedal, rather than the first 0.05 seconds of the braking zone being spent taking up the clearance.

It won't build pressure as such, because as soon as he releases the pedal the pressure goes (assuming no residual pressure valves).

If you have watched best motoring, there is one driver that does that before every braking, maybe he has lost brakes at some point and had bad accident because of that and after accident he have to check to be able to take corners at 100%?
