Class 'Steering by Throttle' at Spa!

[Housey]

Lovely video of a handy driver in an old 2.0L 911 demonstrating how to drive/steer a very oversteery car at Spa on the throttle. Cracking video which I felt deserved it's own thread, but feel free to move it Mods if you disagree.

Eau Rouge scares me... new pants please!

 

[DreXeL]

Cracking stuff, half the time it's hard to tell he's sideways because it's sooo smooth, the only giveaway is the opposite lock

 

[Housey]

The boys got talent.

Very nice driving. Love the overtake at 2.50 whilst travelling sideways.

 

[Housey]

This bloke tried to copy him........and didn't!

 

[Fr0dders]

i tried to drive like that ... on a wet handling circuit in a VXR8 and spun every time.

Big respect to the guy in the video.

Awesome stuff! Some nice non-nonsense overtaking too!

I'd love to have those skills! Lovely engine/exhaust note too.

Aaargh makes me want to go out for a drive/track day!!!

 

[PinkFloyd]

Awesome videos. Love watching cars being driven like that!
Makes me want to go play GT Legends which has all those cars in it!

The other guy didn't crash though, narrowly avoided that wall.

Brilliant driving by the in car cam guy. I love the overtaking someone that's overtaking, even on the rumble strip.

Wonder what that car is running? Seems to hugely outpace other stuff of the same period. It is probably swb, pre-69 2.0L as stock.

Definitely impressive driving. <3 Spa.

 

[Flibster]

I wonder how much faster he'd be in car that didn't want him dead?

Sideways is not fastways *as I had drummed into me*

It is a SWB 2L I believe, nicely tuned too looking at how it closes on the Mustang, though he is carrying much more speed than most.

That is weird, watching that video it feels like I'm playing need for speed in something tail happy. Immense talent though!

 

[Dup]

My kind of driving Looks like he forgot it was qualifying!

I would love to run Spa in any old car. Even if I binned it at the top of Eau Rouge. Would be worth it.

Makes me want to cain my accord to the local drive-thru

Work blocks youtube, will watch at home.

 

[Eliot]

Sick..

 

[Matt82]

ive been looking forward to getting home all day so i could see this. my god! looks very wayward. cars that require involvement to drive... for the WIN

6 hours of that must be very tiring. The sort of car that you have to talk round a lap. Every time it snaps out of line you have to give it a "don't you dare try that again you old cow" sort of warning.

Brilliant!
