He spun going slow in an FR2.0? Pffff, those physics are horrible, race cars are easy to drive slow. Anyways, thanks for posting, good read.
drive it fast or the aero won’t work. High revs. Brake hard to keep the temperatures up. Enjoy it. And as each colleague returns, that’s the repeated phrase. “You can go so much faster than you think. Don’t hold back, just go for it.” I hit the throttle early and feel the back end step out. My own reaction tells me to correct and get back on it, but the car has already reacted before me and I can feel the TC controlling the rear and pushing me on, back up the hill. Aside from the one part where he was going too slow on cold tires, sounds like arcadey to me. Will not play.
max wings and max traction control would dumb even a F1 car down quite a bit. They don't want people killing themselves.
But they used it anyway since long time. Now that FIA maps output torque to throttle position the 4 time World Champion is regularly outpaced by Ricciardo.
Thanks for the link, it's a good read. Although, is it me, or does Will come off a little......arrogant? Anyway, F1 is not easy and the blog illustrated that nicely.
