No racing politics, no team orders, no nonsense talk over the radio telling the driver what to do, no pit strategies, no FIA overcontrolling penalties...this is pure racing that everyone enjoys to watch.
I was prepared to be disappointed, but that was actually pretty damn cool! The driver steering the lead Ferrari was visibly smoother than the rest of the field, but they were all 100 times better than I would have been :)
That final battle between the Ferrari and the McLaren was more epic han Villeneuve vs Arnoux in '79. They even came back from death three times, while Lauda only did it once :)
I've done many types of R/C car racing over the last 30 years and this class was by far the most fun. The motors required for this class are considered very weak in comparison to what you normally see in a lot of the other R/C car racing videos you might have seen. This meant that batteries (expensive for matched set) and battery tech were not as important as just a good setup and good heads up driving.
Exciting racing but I feel the second car had more battery power than the first car towards the end of the race. Both seem to have the same battery management during the race. In the first part of the race the lead car was faster than the second car. I think a lot depends on your battery and I know the skill of the drivers are very good but I believe the battery and motor are very important. Slot car races at this level are skilled drivers too but it’s a bit different.
I also thought it was a good category speed for the normal people in the audience it was very watchable not like the faster events where it becomes bad for the eyes but just as much skill.What a great race love your work cheers
Why don't the put a small camera in the driver's seat and drive the cars in first person on an iPad. It would be more realistic for the driver's and you can watch replay's of passing and crashes.
quite a stinger finish can't say cutting through the dots is sportsman like but it ended up being a tactic when it's a RC car anything goes I remember digging into another guy on the final lap of a parking lot race on a straightaway and ended up tumbling down the track till my battery disconnected. I felt shame for trying to take another driver out and I lost the race. I was probably 11
THE FERRARI WON. Frame @ 1:00 establishes that the Ferrari is #1. Frame @ 6:43 indicates #1 won. Frames @ 6:30 hint that it jets by while the McLaren struggled for traction coming off the bumps, or hesitated for some other reason.
you know what.....?those toys are much faster than the real formula cars....and this is the very very safest racing competition....hope there is also a gt3,offroad..etc..
