    British rally driver Jimmy McRea had the prescription in his lenses changed to make the corners seem further away so he would brake later.

      If you're already always brake later because you're not a good driver then when using the glasses you'll brake more later and be a more not good driver. And when using in town you'll brake later too and will get you tickets because you stop after the traffic lights, scratches your car on buildings because you brake later in corners and bump cars on front of you when stopping. Should win Nobel prize!

    Maybe the time is faster simply because Matt was more familiar around the track and was more confident of when he could brake later and get on the power sooner after having learned the track from the first lap.

    Some of the second and a bit you picked up might be a result of the “transition lap” being the lap you took second. A bit of practice or a recon lap will have a similar effect.

    • @adplays7261
      @adplays7261 Рік тому +3

      Yeah the first was basically a warm up lap meaning the second lap will boost matts confidence even without the glasses on

    Mat, your videos are awesome but this one in particular just didn’t gel well for me.
    I’d prefer you perform 3 laps for each glasses and also have another non generic polarised glasses just for better comparison.
    If you’re not going to perform a proper experiment, I’d enjoy it more if you had Yanni explain your in-depth performance and 30 click up links every time you mentioned the glasses instead.

    It's just polarised sunglasses ... the sepia tone makes it easier to see when u drive for some reason .. I got sepia toned polarised sunglasses ... any brand will do just make sure they're polarised. The polarised part helps greatly reduce glare and the sepia tone increases contrast making everything pop and look hd instead of making then darker like black sunglasses ... black lenses reduce all spectrum of light equally making everything darker whereas the sepia lenses blocks all lights except the ones related to the sepia tone .. hence the colour and this colour compliments road surfaces. Just like a red lens makes everything look red because it's blocking all light spectrum from going through to your eyes except red hence you see everything red. OK ill stop now but you get the point 😂

      Hi, you seem knowledgeable on the lenses and coatings. I was advised to get some Leica lenses with their coating, as it helps with low light and night driving. I have to admit that as the light drops towards evening and early morning low light, they seem to have a very good clarity to them. At night time, the lights from cars and other objects are less blinding or glaring. In everyday light they have a great crystal clear clarity to them. I wonder, hence the reason why I'm asking, how much is this clarity etc due to my prescription which has gone up by almost -1 in strength, or if it's the coating that has aided the clarity? They're very expensive lenses and I don't want to pay that amount in future. I am wondering whether there are alternative options. Thanks in advance.

    Problem is that Mat may have been quicker with glasses because he used the glasses later on in the day. Meaning he had practice running the track before he even put on the glasses; and ultimately more comfortable and new the track better. Thus, he had a quicker lap time. This is definitely a flawed test. With all that said, I still very much enjoyed the vid.

    It would be interesting if you did the test first with the driving glasses as testing second is also when you’re more familiar with the track.
    Also, polarised lenses are great for reflections however not so great for reading LED displays and Ben Collins says that never to use them.
    I’m not sure I agree with Ben as I use them and find them great in most situations

    • @Chris-ri7hb
      @Chris-ri7hb Рік тому +1

      You mean LCD displays as this would result in cross-polarisation and a blanked out screen. LED light isn't polarised so is unaffected.
