Cool video, the e36 chassis is one of my favorites. Some things I learned over the years that you already know but for the beginners watching.. - If you know the road and are good at driving, a bone stock fiesta can be competitive. Spend money on seat time pushing yourself at HPDE track days over that super sweet carbon hood yo. - When you start modding your car, be aware that canyons usually aren't as smooth as a racetrack. Though your car may look cool with it slammed on some hella flush fitted wheels, most likely it will handle like dog shit. Besides your car bottoming out, your suspension geometry will be thrown out of whack. So don't go too low and get some modified knuckles that lower the ball joint position. Then you won't be fighting your steering wheel like it owes you money when you drive over bumps at maximum attack. - If someone faster comes up behind you, let them by instead of getting salty because you're slow. We were all slow at one point. No shame in letting a faster driver by. - On a lot of the roads, people live there. There are kids playing close by. Don't go driving like you're Sabastien Loeb when it's 6'oclock in the afternoon. You're going to get someone killed. Save driving hard in the canyons for midnight to 5 am. Then WHEN you crash, you only kill/hurt yourself, and not some innocent person that could be someone's mother or daughter. -If you want to be fast, just know that it takes hundreds of hours of seat time and most likely, lots of crashes and cars. Don't be in a hurry. Relax and work on being smooth. Learn how to hold your momentum in a slow car. Then when you finally can afford a fast car, you will actually be able to drive it. Most of the time up there, it's middle-class locals in stock to mildly tuned miatas, integras, 350zs and VWs absolutely smoking high dollar, high horsepower, rich kids. So next time you and your friends make fun of the guy at the meet because his car has 135 whp, mismatched paint and his bumper is dented in, keep in mind that he may very well be able to embarrass you in your Supra.

Having not attended actual driving classes and figured out driving from my own experience (plus prior basic knowledge from sim games), I learned a lot of these things in this video myself- I sort of use the leaning sensations as a gauge of lateral forces, and I use the steering, brakes, and throttle to balance the car and keep everything smooth and have learned to pick up tire activity through all of my senses, whether it be the sound of the tires, a visual difference between the car’s angle and the steering wheel, or the vibrations through the floor/pulls on the steering wheel

Great tips, I would like to add to ride with someone who’s already fast. That removes some of the fear of going faster and let’s you know where the limit is on some corners

Fear is usually lack of knowledge. You gotta build up to it. Best thing is to find an opportunity to experiment that turn safely. Don't push too hard if you're afraid but following someone else or a ride along are always good. Hope you'll find someone to ride along with.

As a person who just got a standard after not driving one for 7+ years, this helped a lot. Thanks. Sweet videos btw.

Of course!

Before you go hard on any mountain road, one should at least do a two-pass recce to get familiar with the course. In my opinion, crashes happen when people go hard without any prior recce whatsoever, and that is a recipe for disaster.

@CanyonTuned

Жыл бұрын

Yup I see this all the time in my area. 99% of the people that crash it's their first time on the road.

Love the video and tips. Best thing that cut my lap times on the touge was proper throttle control, a lot of people (including me) hit the gas out of turns or hairpins way too late, once I fixed that I cut seconds off my runs

I came here to crap on your video. That said, solid advice, a mini-racing school. Well done. This is from a now 78 year old former Angeles Crest canyon racer on both bikes and cars and a Bondurant School attendee who still drives a 440 RWHP '68 Camaro 6 speed..

Awesome man! Yeah I'm just trying to keep the young bloods safe. As long as curvy roads exist, there will always be canyon drivers. I've seen too many fatalities at our local pass, so just trying to spread the word

Great video! I have a 2020 AMG GTR and where I live folks come up here in the mtns in California to play- Dude always fly up wanting to play but I never oblige too many novices up here people crossing yellow line (as you discussed) Thank you for being common sense and smart about this I have seen way too many fine but not bright people ruin their lives here up here. The biggest issue we see is with the redwoods and stuff my neighbors coming out of driveways on back side of a turn more than a few REALLY bad accidents when someone is way to fast around a turn and they run in to someone. A guy on a Ducati hit my wife in the rear once. flying around a turn and she was getting up to speed. He didn't know how to manage his bike and couldn't slow down.

There are some canyon roads in cali that are extremely residential (houses, driveways, bikes, etc) and i've seen plenty of people not being too smart about this

Good tips 👌🏽

Don't drive on the limit on public roads this is what tracks are for, you can drive sporty but don't drive on the limit One more tip, you can use Google maps to roughly judge what kind of corners are coming up, like a mini map in games

Bro do you feel like you e36 is still competitive against more modern cars like a wrx or an 86? Not bashing just asking . I love the older beemers and thinking about getting an e36.

Great question! Vertical seating position with your elbows bent at a 90 degree angle. That gives you the most leverage on the wheel. Look at purpose built race cars, the steering wheel is very close to the driver

@@CanyonTuned safety is important too, if u dont have a harness with helmet and hans, then ur probably relying on the airbags. so make sure ur positioned in a way that the airbag is still effective. unless ur like me and ur logic is "well my road has fat trees on both sides so if i crash i should try to die as quickly and painlessly as possible" lol
