    I've driven this road and the video does not reflect the shear dropoffs to the either side of much of this road and broken edges of the dirt portion - this is a supreme feat of confidence and skill! Rally drivers are the best drivers in the world!

    The concentration it takes to read those notes is unreal! I'd probably get nauseous.

    what the fuck is the navigator saying
    I really appreciate how drivers can instantly recognize what the navigator sais and how the navigator takes time to learn the keywords of the track

    Dave and Craig, Congratulations... I have been watching your successes on Launch Control for two years now. You guys are the upmost in professionalism, and Subaru is lucky to have you. As a Subaru owner, I am extremely proud of all your accomplishments. Keep up the good work.

    Driven this road a couple of times as well as Pike's Peak 14,200ft and Trail Ridge Road,14,400ft (highest in lower 48) both in Rocky Mountain N.F. in Colorado. Outstanding run guys! The only down side is the record they broke (shattered) was Carroll Shelby's in a Ferrari that stood since 1958 But still; OUT-FUCKING-STANDING!!!

    It's interesting to hear their pace notes evolving over time. This footage is the first time I've heard "gear" from Drew. Is that a reminder to downshift for a coming incline, or something else?

  • @daniel-mac
    @daniel-mac 10 років тому

    Is the gear box different on these rally cars than the normal production WRX/STI's? It doesn't look like the shift knob is going in any direction but straight forward and back.

    • @coltinkerstin5774
      @coltinkerstin5774 10 років тому +3

      Your seeing a "Sequential Gearbox" at work. Pull rear ward on lever and it goes to a higher gear, forward is lower. It must pass through each gear however, so skipping from 5th to 3rd isn't possible, but its much faster and no miss shifts!!

    • @Racer57
      @Racer57 10 років тому +15

      Yes, you have to. Its really important here because he's telling him where and where he can't cut so he doesn't clip rocks or something because if he did, both lives would be in serious jeopardy. Also the road isn't the smoothest road, there is a lot of dips in the road so the co driver reminds Higgins of these so the car doesn't get light on him unexpectedly. Both are professionals, to you and me it just seems like a lot of over whelming notes, but the driver doesn't think about the notes, it just processes instantly when he's in the drivers seat.

    • @mmoseleywpi
      @mmoseleywpi 9 років тому

      Engine is bouncing off the limiter. They pick the final drive ratio so they hit it their max speed only a few instances on course, I believe. They seem to have done a good job for this one.
