Very very sticky and probably at a retarded price tag

Funny how fast it looks, but at the same time it doesn't? you can't really see just how fast he's going. I know the camera was blocking his view abit, but he's kinda a back marker in F1, imagine being with one of the front runners

**fixxervi6** · 10-26-2011, 12:49 PM

you think they can fit any more shit on that steering wheel?

What happens when he goes for a button and "woops" does he blow up a very expensive turbo or launch a nuke?

Keep in mind, he was also going out with relatively cold brakes and tires ( they had warmers, but I doubt they're at full temp right out of the gate ). This guy did only one lap, so by then the tires and brakes are just getting warmed up.

I believe the speed was on the steering wheel, but I question it a bit... do they really go 250+ ?

that's true, I think the speedo reading was in kph, I know the old V12's could get up to 340kph, and the V8's they run now can get up in the low 300's, it all depends on the gearing they have set up for the track they are on.

Ah, right. That makes sense... I just didn't guess KPH because I thought he would be going really slow then.

But if it's not a fast track AND has cold tires/brakes, he sure wouldn't be pushing it either.

Awesome! Used to be a fan of F1. Kind of got out of it but still watch it now and then.

**1/4milecrazy** · 10-26-2011, 01:48 PM

I was always a fan of F1 and now they will be coming to NJ in 2013. I simply can not fucking wait. I just want to get as close to the track as I can and just hear 1 or 2 laps of all of them speeding by.

**Shaftmaster** · 10-26-2011, 03:04 PM

That steering wheel was insane.

**MoMu** · 10-26-2011, 04:50 PM

pretty cool and dude was hitting some pretty high speeds. but shit, imagine the front runners....

Launches a nuke.

Oh just your basic stuff: launch learn, differential control, torque control, brake balance,

The amount of control the driver has over the car is insane. I'd probably break it...

**coopgt1** · 10-26-2011, 05:58 PM

I love driving that track in F1 2010 .

**kjsoccerdude** · 10-27-2011, 01:38 AM

Nice video. Those things are so sick...

The sad thing is I knew what track that was within a few seconds because of Forza 4. It's Suzuka.

What configuration of Suzuka is the guy running in the vid? It sure as hell don't look like suzuka to me.

**Droped2** · 10-27-2011, 05:44 AM
