  • The BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I got the drive a Mercedes C63 DTM at Hockenheim for a few laps. For me the sound was the main highlight and the simplicity of the interior as well. Compared to a GT3 car the grip felt similar and the power was a bit less but overall the driving experience was more visceral. Will never forget this day as long as I am alive.

    I know I'm freaking late but can someone answer my question, in performance wise how similiar were those DTM cars between 2014-2017 compared to GT3? How faster? Also, did they increase power for the 2018 season making the DTM cars even faster? Then yeah I know in 2019 Class 1 cars came into the scene and those were freaking fast

    I remember one time a "friend" of mine who claimed she raced said that A racing drivers don't have mirrors and B they don't use them. I found it utterly rediculous. Time trials racers and motorcycle racers are the only ones i can think of that legitimately wouldn't have a need for a mirror.

    I like the padding on the roll cage. Essentially overengineered pool noodles. Lol.

      they normally just use pipe insulation that is normally used in warm water pipes in house construction. It is really cheap, available in all kinds of sizes and really effective as protection.

    • @DavidPerel
      @DavidPerel  4 роки тому

      Not entirely correct, the padding is purpose built and molded to spec. Far from Pool Noodle material and actually very hard/stiff. You wouldn’t want to hit your head against it without a helmet on.

    Great cars, great championship,one of the few championships where merit is rewarded over money.Sadly after Audi's departure this championship will be confined to history books once again.😭

      @@DavidPerel Yes.High costs killed it.After all it was a championship where skills were rewarded rather than money.Every driver was paid.Big loss for motorsports in general but it could have saved but ITR acted too late.But on the other hand you have to admit that Formula E developed itself into a formidable series and now every manufacturer want to join FE.FE does a goodjob.
