can you even drive a standard lmao ? You been paddling your way around since you got peach fuzz ?

[Bouncer]

hahahahaha i can almost see him doing that.

:disagree:

yea I believe it. Whenever you move to a house with a garage, buy a old ass 300zx or some thing (car that's manual) and build it in your spare time.

You'll appreciate the way different cars handle on the track, and the biggest difference between manual and auto (with paddles) whipping around turns.

but yea i will admit, the instructor has told me many times the paddles are not optimal on an automatic gearbox. you dont have full control and the car doesnt necessarily shit down when you want it to. :fight:

for street driving though they are fine. just the track where they sort of get in the way.

wait , you are still in class stage w/other drivers are they going with you 1on1 and they just know the Z that well to tell shift points or you mean shift points just in regards to basic course navigation.

1 on 1 yes, and yes they have a pretty good idea of what gear various cars should be in at certain parts of the track. these guys sit in all types of cars. from little fucken MX5's to ferrari's. they are pretty skilled instructors, not some average track tool.

[Bouncer]

ahh good stuff :thumup: You're now talking like an experienced driver.

I guess now its time to quit bodybuilding, drop down to 180lbs and become the next Stig :D

You'll make better time in your Z weighing 180 then 260.



Automatic Z :D

no. you have to follow pretty strict rules in the first 2 groups.

its all about learning your lines, what gear your should be in at certain parts of the track, when to brake etc...

once you get up into the experienced group you can really start ripping around.

[Bouncer]

oh ok ok. yea just different rules for different tracks I guess. I know that someone sits with you.

When you're driving on the track, do you have orange stickers around your car to tell drivers you're a beginner?

[dna9488]

you have someone sit with you the first few times you go out with what i am talking about also. but there is not a "certification" to speak of.

you get put into classes (beginner, intermediate, experienced)

[Bouncer]

Oh ok. nevermind, you go out of state and find a track that need qualifications.

The tracks I am talking about, you actually need to spend a weekend learning to drive on one, and than once you pass the certification you're good to go. Its like a $300 weekend even that sets you up with a course. You have someone that sits with you as you go around the track over and over to make sure you got it.

Its a long process, but once you get that certification you can go to any track that accepts that certification and drive.
