Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

MotorWeek's Overdrive is BACK! This time, Greg Carloss has a friendly competition on the autocross course against an 18-year-old aspiring racing driver. Greg is rocking a pretty stock Miata Grand Touring while Dylan's Miata is pretty modified and ready for a track day. Plus, there's a few more surprises in store. Who will win?

    Oh, this was great. I started autocrossing in 1987 with my brand new Mustang GT. I was all cocky and stuff with my big V8. Every weekend, I vividly remember getting my ass handed to me by VW GTI's and Rabbits. They just blistered the course, hopping up on three wheels around the tight corners. Great fun! Thanks for the memories.

    My friend Pete took his dads Golf 16V to the autocross meet and destroyed everyone in it when he was 16. Those cars were badass To be fair though it was an imported 16V, the only one in America at the time. His dad raced for VW and later moved to Honda. Still sick though

    Reversing through the whole track gave me flashbacks of the police academy maneuverability test. We had to reverse through the entire track while maneuvering through different sets of cones. 1st set was a star shape, 2nd was 2 curves aligned with cones, 3rd a 90° turn, 4th parallel parking, 5th J-turn, and 6th slalom cones. Obviously we did this slow because slow is smooth and smooth is fast. But at the end they let us rip it in reverse for fun and it’s safe to say all the cones were murdered 🤣 however I was pretty good at the slalom in forward and reverse. Key part of doing them in reverse is your rear view mirrors!! Which is what none of these 2 used during the reverse portion

    Setting aside that this was not actually "pro" vs "amateur," (and certainly not a "rookie" as it stated on the thumbnail) it was a little cringy listening to an adult trash-talking a teenager.

Most of these "pro vs amateur" competitions put a very experienced racer in a stock car up against an actual amateur who is brand new to competitive driving in a faster car. I honestly don't know what I watched, two dudes who have been racing around the same amount of time competing against each other?

    As any pro driver will tell you, smooth is fast. Go into the corner with no brakes (obviously you brake before the corner), set your car, then accelerate off the corner.

    That's incorrect. You have to blend inputs to maximize the friction circle. If you're braking before the turn it's wrong. Look up the term trail braking.
