I read that same wikipedia article a while back.
Also I’ve been working on learning racing vocab to get myself to the point where I can maybe talk about some of the techniques I’ve actually learned in sim racing properly.
Came across this interesting PDF:
I suggest reading Bob Bondurant on High-Performance Driving
It lays out techniques in a really simple way.
Its just a good book and you feel the enthusiasm for the activity dripping off the page.
That’s a good recommendation… guess i gotta hunt that one down so we’re able to make a SB Skidmarkers Bookclub?
Because you absolutely need to have a Citroën to pull it off (needless to say, that Picasso is epic!)
that’s some wild angles in that Sterling commercial (also think i saw the 308 headlights pop down in one place, even if they tried to avoid those shots to keep the sleek Silhouette looking elegant throughout the ad)
they don’t make 'em like this anymore
ever since the xbox lan I have tried to find a racing game that uses system link and split screen, and I found one: Nascar Heat 2002. Now I’m obsessed with doing a 32 player endurance race in someone’s basement using a bunch of networked xboxes.
huge meetup potential….
Im so ready
i know i shouldn’t encourage such outrage—
diveplanes on the rear bumper, that’s how you let other cars know you mean it
you could open a barber shop with that thing
and while one of the pwningest aeromodded vehicles of all time was a 4-door, rozzed up 4-door vehicles remain particularly whimsical
interlude:
you know how i always was wondering what happened in the Darlington 1961 NASCAR race—
guess i just gotta check it out now!
