what are you talking about? The 8 sucks at turns and has horrible weigh distribution. Most people use 8s as drag cars.

A bad driver can make the fastest car slow. Lewis Hamilton could be in a Dodge Ram and lap me even if I was in his F1 car

Ok...are you kidding me? I hope you don't own an 8, cause this is a false statement. 8 is one of the few cars with the best 50:50 weight distribuiton. And is NOT made of drag racing due to not having much low end torque as other vehicles in its category.

As for Lewis Hamilton - I take Massa over lewis anyway day.

he must have been to busy talking on his cell phone to use them.

Guy has no understanding of racing lines at all, probably not much understanding of physics either.

I am suprise they didnt kick him off the track. i mean, the driver didnt even us the racing lines at all. what drivers drives stays on the outside of the corners 99% of the time.

I donno. I think I could do better my first time out. At the very least I'd be able to find a line.

that was sarcastic statement ( he drives like my grandma - i guess car cant handle turns :eyetwitch) Its a good way to spark discussion, and spread confusion of who ment what.

bot to be rude but that tiburon looked like a barge...lol

that tiberon couldnt possible be the 6cyl. that had to be a 4 banger version cuz as good as the 8 handles in turns, we all saw how bad that driver was at lines and the 8 actually pulled on it in the straights. the straights should be the tiberons saving grace. the turns (unbelievably) were where the hyundai gained ground. pathetic

yes ... i vent through his videos and it is 2L ... rx8 is slightly faster then tiburon V6 in strait line (stock for stock) since tiburon so pluged up with restrictions.

You gotta be fuckin kidding me. That's some of the worst "driving" I've ever seen. He (or she, more likely, damn) had no business being out there. Zero comprehension of how to actually drive a car. Zero. None. How can you go to a track, A TRACK!!!, and not how to drive? I wouldn't want to be parked in the same parking lot as that numb nut.

People go to the track to learn, for all you know that dude was probably scared, never pushed the car to the limit.

HPDE's are not competition, the purpose is to learn. That's why they have different skill levels and classes.

You are obviously very patient and very kind, and I get what you're saying, but I just don't think it's a learning experience if you don't have the slightest idea what a line is. I don't care if I see somebody miss an apex, or turn in a little too early, or accelerate too late, but to drive like that? Dude. I'd go watch some racing. I'd read and research and ask questions before heading out there. I'd get a friend to teach me or show me, or I'd follow him.

It reminds me of watching people golf for the first time. Some folks head right out to course and try to play. Whatever. You can do that, but that's just not me. It's so damn obvious they haven't invested even an hour to learn some basics. When you golf like that, youll get better eventually, but it takes a loooooong time, and most of that time is wasted.

That person needs some serious lessons before getting out there and possible causing an accident and hurting himself and others.

He/she sucked.
