Probably in traffic or at night I imagine, but any circumstance can merit the need for LFB...I think Tommy's point was that in most situations he tries to RFB for the stated reason :)
Hey Tommy, really nice to see you made it to such a succesful GT racer. A long time ago we did some simraces together in rFactor, also with Sean Edwards when he was still around ... :( I hope you are doing fine. Grts
+Tommy Milner Wow, great to see a sim racer get out there. How well do you think sim racing helped prepare you for the read deal? I know there are differences, and simulations will never truly train you, but I am very curious on the impact it made
I'm trying to get proper seating position in my simulator. Is the seat higher then the pedal deck or on the same plain? Also it seems your legs just slip by the dash and steering colum how high would you say the steering wheel is? If you drew a line from the middle of the wheel to your body would it hit you in the chest, kneck, or face? Is the steering wheel straight-on or angled a bit? Lastly is the fixed back seat mounted on an angle back or level? Thanks and great video!
***** Great footage, I really love these helmet cam videos from you. I do suppose that the view is quite a bit lower than what you actually see. Is it also possible for you to upload a photo of what you normally see (eye-height picture). Would be great to see how hard/easy it is for you guys view-wise.
I tried something different this time. It is lower than what I see. Some of my other in-car videos have the camera just above my eye line and give a pretty good angle of what I see.
***** Thanks for the reply. I watched the videos a lot before and I did notice it in the Daytona one uploaded by Drive. The vids are really amazing, keep them coming. Best of luck for the next season ;)
what was being shown on the cars Monitor at the beginning, looked like a camera poing at the front of another corvette but what camera????? Oh Yeah the car has a rear camera on it and we were looking at another corvette behind him.....also noticed that Corvette has an automatic transmission, unless he is press down on the clutch So fast that I cant even see him doing it, No I did see him actually press down on the Clutch when he entered the Pits
Andrew Silva The other Corvette in the monitor screen is probably the #3 C7.R, teammates with Tommy's #4. You can hear it idling at the beginning of the video.
The car has a real time radar sensor, and an arrow will appear over vehicles approaching from the rear, very useful at night when they tend to drive with high beams on, it floods the cameras lens, helping point out where the opposition is located
What is the reasoning behind right foot braking? I'm sure there are a lot of pros and cons to right foot braking, but why do you still right foot brake in cars that doesn't require it?
Left foot braking is useful for "trail braking" . It is a controlled way of rotating the car in the center of a turn, by dragging the brake slightly, while still maintaining throttle input
Right foot braking saves fuel, which in endurance racing is crucial. It also puts less use/wear on the brakes which is another crucial element in endurance racing. Left foot braking has the advantage of being able to trail brake which can help the car turn/rotate. You can also get a little quicker lap time using left foot but endurance racing is about strategy...saving fuel, and saving brakes.
The camera is pointed towards the driver. From left to right, gas, brake, clutch. The car is still manually shifted with paddles on the back of the steering wheel, the clutch is mainly used for stop-go (pit stops)
How is this driver supposed to check his blind spot in this car especially with the mirrors not pointed that far out? I assume the blind spot would be a big problem in racing and with a car with such low visibility
