Watched these at BTCC knockhill last year loved it so much I booked a track day and drove one loved that so much I’m going to go back and drive it unlimited after some tutoring
4:30 - that was fucking awesome Just learned that these cars exist and i would love nothing more than to try racing one of these things... this just looks unbelievably fun
I use to race legends when i was 10-12 years old and i ran a few road course races ontop of mostly being a oval driver and still race oval and no more road course but it was a wild racing road clurse in these tight racing and lots of bumping and white nuckle racing
Thinking about racing one of these with a few buddies after seeing the prices on some pretty well sorted cars! (Don’t know too much about the weekend to weekend expenses though). Definitely looks like a crazy amount of fun!
I only race the roadcourse races. And around here there are only about 7-8 a year. So it works out perfect. I can’t race every weekend like the other guys. Also autocross.
What is that gauge in the center of the dash? I thought it was a tach but it doesn't really seem to be rising and falling with the RPMs like you would expect.
These cars are so overpowered and traction limited they are fun to race. It looks like the trans shifts without a clutch right? I'd think you might want to have a foot shifter to keep your hands on the wheel, as these cars are "a handeful" to drive! Or a hand throttle or paddle shifters on the wheel.
Don’t necessarily need a team, it helps… I’ve got good friends that help out.. I only race roadcourse which doesn’t happen this often in the southeast but IT IS growing… so it kinda works out for me… I can’t race every weekend anyways.. plus I race dirt track as well for somebody else and am obligated to be there…
I just got a Legends car and I'm too nervous about breaking my shit to find this out the hard way but....SHIFTING: Are you using the clutch as you're shifting up and down through the gears in race pace? It sounds like just a throttle blip. If you are clutching then I must say you are quite efficient, Sir. Because I can't tell.
I was struggling getting it to go in, but no, no clutch. Just throttle blip on up and down. My linkage was messed up so I need clutch for it to go in. Just bought a new fz09 car. Should be alloottt smoother
