Great save from oversteer at 1:35 very quick reaction!
@acruzp10 років тому
Reflexes and reaction time are two different things. His reflexes can only improve so much, and the brain can only become so quick to process... he was expecting it, he knew the car well through that corner and tentatively got a little earlier trying to see if he could get away with it, then quickly adjusted. He must have read something before he felt the rear go, because that's just beyond Ayrton Senna reaction times....
@tiagonestiago10 років тому
Andres .C Great explanation, I like it even more now!
@BeanDip96_9 років тому
Hit the nail right on the head there. These cars are going so fast that you can't just go off reactions alone. These drivers know exactly how the car will react to the inputs it receives. He knew accelerating that early in the chicane would have a good chance of breaking the rear loose. So when it did, he was ready.
@thethirdman2259 років тому
Andres .C Brandon Ryan Tiago Jorge Anything involving hand-eye coordination is, by definition, a _reaction_ and not a reflex, no matter how fast you are going.
@acruzp9 років тому
TheThirdMan I know, that's what I said. It was a reaction not a reflex. A reflex is bumping your knee with a hammer and kicking in consecuence.
@SRAMEK10 років тому
How exciting it must have been to reach 400 km/h in this, especially at night
@benryder994710 років тому
It looked like it maxed out at 330 km/h
@SRAMEK10 років тому
Ben Ryder Yes, today. But back in the times it was in full condition and the Mulsanne straight was an actual straight without the chicanes, Sauber C9 reached 400 km/h in qualification, while ti was definitely a bit slower in a race mode, it still repeatedly reached about 380 km/h in the race, which is tremendous if you consider the fact it is a 24 hour race. Those C11s were even a bit faster then those C9s, but I don't know the precise number, maybe about 405 km/h. Nowadays, these cars are historics, they are still very fast but they never reach the speeds they did when they were in full condition. Real beauties and moster in the time
@benryder994710 років тому
SRAMEK Yes yes. I know the old LM had a massive straight without the kinks. But the car looks like it is stuck between mid 320s and 330s due to the gearing or something.
@SRAMEK10 років тому
Ben Ryder gear ratio
@thethirdman2259 років тому
SRAMEK Ben Ryder Firstly, the C9 reached 400km/h _once_, driven by Kenny Acheson in 1989. Secondly, it did not happen at night. Not ever. This was the last time the old 5 kilometre straight was used. From 1990 onwards, chicanes were introduced and nobody has been anywhere near 400 km/h since. The highest ever top speed on the Mulsanne Straight by any car was the Peugeot WM88 in 1988 which reached 405 km/h. Anything about the C11 reaching 405 is speculation because it never raced on tracks where that sort of speed would be possible. The practical limit for this C9 would probably be somewhere north of 340 (which you can see just before the first chicane). The highest speed recorded in 1990 was a Nissan at 366 km/h, which is amazing considering how little distance they travel. There would be no point gearing them any higher. Even as it was, it would have taken probably 2/3rds or even 3/4 of the length of the old straight to get up to 400 km/h. The drag at that speed is enormous. For the record, the FIA no longer sanctions tracks with straight lengths over 2 kms.

in real Group C race cars were pretty easy to drive race cars other than japanese games try to tell us... you need a easy to drive car if driver should push it over 24h too the limit or close to the limit... u can build a hard to drive endurance racer but the chances that it will be successfull tend to zerro... best way to judge that is to watch semi pro driver getting the chance to drive such cars ...they all tell you they are impressed how easy the Group Ccars are to control...that is exactly what you need if you drive 24h under hard competition. The less stress the car put on the driver the more energy he could put into driving at the limit without exhursting... the 787B is a good example how to make it wrong.... their lucky win at LeMans was so exhursting for Johnny Herbert in the last stin that he could not go to the podium to celebrat with the other driver the one and only victory of the car... the noise and heat level in the Mazda 787B was borderline suicid level...

garyhope2 Wrong- NASCAR engines actually rev much higher than this. The typical stock car redlines at ~9700rpm. In the 2014 season (when power wasn't restricted), they were making 950hp out of a naturally aspirated 5.8L PUSHROD v8, turning at over 10,000 rpm. You may criticize the tracks and the fans, but NASCAR engines are a wonderful thing.
