      Ferrari in a nutshell Kimi pull over Vettel is faster than you. Ferrari in their whole Massa pull over Alonso faster than you. Ferrari no one challenges Michael he is the #1 driver.

      I mean Ferrari literally asked Barrichello to pull over to let Schumi win just before the finish line. Then again, I'm in my 30's.

    as a much lower ranked racer this is actually interesting
    edit: for context, i'm 16 and have been racing cars for two years now (fiesta juniors in 2017 and whatever i could find that i could afford this year) and seeing similarities in some aspects (mainly mentally and looking ahead etc; i hope you go into more detail on that) but differences in others like physical ones. racing my car i only usually get up to about 1.2g in corners and braking zones but it's good fun and a great starting point. i know i'm not slow (currently got two fastest lap records at two kart circuits) but there's obviously room to improve.
    oh and if anyone wants to ask questions about karting and lower down racing formulae i'll happily answer all :)
    race well all
    Edit 2: oh hi, I’m now 18 and bored lmao

    • @saltbjorn
      @saltbjorn 6 років тому +10

      oh man i loved rye...
      ok this depends entirely on your money situation. sponsors / very rich dads are essential for moving into the world of cars. first book and pass your ARDS test (it's just a harder ARKS, they'll explain it on the day) and then apply for your MSA license. at 14 you can join any junior championship: fiesta juniors (my recommendation), saxos, ginetta juniors (DON'T) or clio juniors. for the fiesta (good value for money) you will spend about £10,000 on the car. i recommend buying a car already built as it is simply so much easier than building one. it took me a year to build my racer and i had 5 mechanics with me. from there, aim to minimise on most costs other than track time and maybe tyres. £10,000 a year is roughly the annual cost of racing and aaron thompson won the championship with a similar budget in 2015 (or 16 i don't remember but i was there). at club levels you will not be paid for anything unless you have sponsors just like i'm trying to get sponsors now. to get good, just spend as much time as possible in the car or simply thinking about improvements on previous performances. if you want to talk more on this, my instagram is @tjchracing and it will be much easier to talk on there. race well and clean man

      I have some very basic emergency vehicle driver training. I once crested a hill and at the very top, I saw something large and white laying in my path.....without even really thinking, my foot stabbed the brake while my hands simultaneously turned the steering wheel very hard to the left. I missed hitting a large, dying dog that must have just been hit by another car seconds before I arrived.
      I exited my car, feeling great because now I would be able to move the dog off of the road and to safety. But, a few moments later....another car came rushing over the hill and promptly ran over the dog again.
