Hmmm no... got a feeling he wants to break away from simracing... either
that or he still hasn't got a job and doesn't dare face us. ;-)
Didn't know it existed and now that I do, I can't say I feel the urge to
try.
It's a nice grand touring sportscar(944S). Pretty bulletproof as well. I
could live with one.
Aaaahh!! <loud clattering sound of *big* penny dropping> Seconded...
It's a combination of setup, approach, timing and a bit of luck. As you well
know, the idea is to start releasing the steering a little early while
progressively getting on the throttle, so as to balance on the thin line
between swapping ends and running out of road. Using the power to straighten
up the car because the steering input is insufficient to "complete" the
turn, as it were. A bit like this actually:

note the small tweak of the steering to keep it on the black stuff near the
end of the turn.<g>
Greg made me do Lesmo2 over and over while commanding me how to drive. Once
I managed one, I knew how to reproduce it. Not saying I'm good at it, but I
do try to incorporate it more and more into my driving. Must be nice to have
this sort of stuff come naturally. ;-(
Having looked at it again a couple times, I must admit there's not a whole
lot of feedback (other than the FF) when one's doing this. I have to be
"there" and have a rythm going (i.e. immersed) to even attempt this and I
can't really explain how I "feel it", I just do. On this occasion the rear
end really "dug in" nicely and I had complete confidence of being propelled
down the straight.
Phew!
... as a doorstop, no doubt. ;-)
Seriously Mark, I have been peer pressured into using skateboards and never
enjoyed one minute of it. I suck and I hate it. As opposed to mountainbiking
(and simracing): I suck, but I enjoy it. ;-)
