Sono nato in un posto dove si corre una famosissima corsa in salita. Sono cresciuto vedendo questi bolidi ma devo dire che questi video danno realmente l'idea della incredibile destrezza di questi piloti e del rischio alto di farsi male che corrono. Io penso che il vero sport motoristico sia questo, senza retorica. Grazie a voi che ci fate godere video splendidi così.
What a pleasure to watch someone, who CAN, drive a car properly..most of the stuff you see on hill limbs the driving is crap. This is wonderful to watch..regards John h
This has to be one of the best man/machine examples ever shot on film IMHO. So much surface moisture variability, such a lively car and speeds that are eye-watering. What a machine but oh, what a driver! You think you know a bit about driving - I've done some amateur kart racing - but after watching this level of skill, you realise that these guys exist on another plane entirely. Thank you for sharing! Cheers from Oz - Dave
deldridg, Totally agree with you. I spent ten years at the wheel of a 1984 Reynard Formula Ford 1600 at circuits in the midwest USA with a reasonable amount of success and feel that I am a fairly accomplished driver. However, this driver, many others like him and all of the rally driver's simply put me to shame. Wow, that was exciting to watch! Excuse me, I'm gonna go light my old FF on fire now and get some real driving lessons.
@@firstnamelastname1101 don't underestimate yourself. Given the opportunity, drive, money etc you could do it too. All you have to do is lift. When you lift you surprise yourself. Yes it is a leap of faith lifting and scary. I once thought the same as you and i was forced to lift. Not only did i lift, i succeeded. I looked back at where I'd come from and felt slightly saddened that i spent too long doubting myself.
@@ThePaulv12 , Opportunity and money are operative words here. My driving skills were indeed improving year to year, but alas, along came children and racing no longer fit into the day to day life of being a father. Almost thirty years have since passed and the kids are all grown, successful and on their own now, and I still have the 1984 Reynard. It needs lots of work, but I see at least some track days in my future. Sadly, I no longer feel that I possess the necessary skills and reflexes to confidently and more importantly, safely, go wheel-to-wheel again.
I'm a qualified mechanic and i left the industry to raise my son. He's now flourishing becoming a top welder. When he left home four years ago, i went and got a truck licence since i didn't want to go back to my trade. I could only qualify for heavy rigid initially since you can't just go and get a semi licence. Anyhow, i got my semi ticket a year later and i can tell you the slipping judgement and reflexes you're talking is very real. Don't despair - stick at it, it comes back. No its not like before but somehow better. It does take more time though and the razor sharpness you once had becomes dulled a bit it comes back to 90% of the original. The original then adds to the 90%. This is why you see such excellent racing in people our age. Understanding of limitations and how and when to exceed them - its a self management issue lol. If you were a hard charger then, you will be again.
Questi piloti si che sanno cosa vuol dire ADRENALINA e cosa vuol dire avere gli "attributi"....non come i piloti di F1 che pure le scoreggie che fanno in macchina compaionio nelle telemetria !!!
Dude I could totally do that in my wife's explorer sport! Ok ok not a chance. What an incredible drive. Makes your jaw drop at the sheer speed and rapid change in direction
i live 10 minutes from this up hill I was used to train me with a Kawasaki Ninja and I can't describe how much difficult it is. There are blind points where you have to point the stone wall and jump at 160kmh to don't cut the gas...
Crazy è proprio l'aggettivo giusto, troppo veloce, troppo pericolosa questa salita, soprattutto nell'allungo sul finale che termina in un tornante destro e anche un uscita da una sinistra velocissima con un palo all'esterno perfettamente in traiettoria. Migliorare la sicurezza!! Merli come sempre gran manico...
We had the opportunity to listen from him many stories about Osella in motorsport and f1 of course. It’s not easy for a little manufacturer to compete in F1 for 10 years.
@@TrentoTurboVideo Principally considered they raced at the height of the turbo era,Osella was one of the teams who raced with a naturally aspirated engine(the supplier was Hart if my memory don't FA1L on me,their engines were underpowered and unreliable,but produced an amazing sound.)
Sono appassionato da decenni a questo tipo di gare, ma con un pazzo come Merli non ci starei accanto nel sedile neanche per 1 milione di euro. Da infarto!
Meanwhile the Instagram celebrities taking up space in Formula One are scared of dust. I hope one day the teams will work it out and get them replaced with people like him who understand what motorsport is. It might actually become watchable again.
Indeed. Its become so boring i can't be borhered watching it anymore. Some of the support events are more interesting and even then some of them are boring too.
