    People mention how they thought this was a game (me included). But I'll tell you what games don't get. The shifting. Yeah, games simulate the clutch and rotating mass, and some even simulate the synchro. But no game ever gives you the feeling of shifting an old ornery transmission. The way it'll fight you when you don't give it time to synchronize, and when your RPMs are too far off the wheel speed sometimes it just refuses to go into gear without a fight. Like when you were downshifting into the chicanes. You have to juggle the rpm by blipping the throttle until the transmission and the output shaft come to an agreement. As a wise man once said, "the transmission is a bureaucracy, sometimes you have to gerrymander to get use of the gears".

    Sure - Helmet - na.stand21.com/products.r-2/helmets.r-7/ivos-hi-tech-open-face-double-duty.f-596.html I like open face helmet when racing in enclosed cars; otherwise I run too hot haha Camera - GoPro Hero 10 shot in 4K 60fps with Horizon Leveling mode; I have not tried without horizon leveling but it may look nice too. Mount - something like this gopro.com/en/us/shop/mounts-accessories/grab-bag/AGBAG-002.html - this way you can angle the camera as you want to have a good view. Finally, we had mounted a cigaret lighter usb-c cable charger so the gopro could be plugged in, otherwise the battery gets drained very quickly. If you race/track day with a full face helmet, there are great chin mounts available that would definitely do the trick too!

Not to sound critical at all, because I’m aware that the floor hinged pedals can be a little tricky. Were you having trouble downshifting smoothly?

  • @godsavethewheels
    @godsavethewheelsАй бұрын

    Not so much trouble, but - these older Porsche/VW gearbox are not the easiest to deal with (imo) and the car kind of needs to stay high in RPMs, so downshifts may sound loud. Also, I must concede I am more comfortable with 4-speed high-hp cars (like the Mustang or Cobra in my other videos), rather than Porsche!

    Same! I looked at the thumbnail and thought "nah it looks too perfect to be real" and checked the title expecting to see "Assetto Corsa." Then wondered if it was a new sim called "Le Mans Classic" or "911 2.0" lol. When I started thinking "they did a hell of a job with the animation of putting gloves on..." it finally hit me.. and in that instant, the next hour of my life had been decided. This is peak youtube, peak vintage racing footage, and has that exceedingly rare quality of making you completely forget about all the things you can't stand about youtube. For that 55min, the light is back in the internet's eyes-gradually, you feel almost a sense deja vu, a comforting familiarity. Then it sinks in: it's the circa-2006 internet-open frontier, full of promise, an exciting treasure trove for any niche passion you have-the existential privacy and safety threats are still years off from souring the experience. For this 55min, the battleground turns back into the playground you remember. Smile and enjoy it.

    Seeing this video reminds me of my dad's old Peugeot 505 break that I learned how to drive in. It had done over 300k kms and was still going strong. He also had a 504 break with 402k kms. I miss the days when companies made quality cars that could last for years. Electric cars will barely last, they will depreciate very badly and are not as environmentally friendly as most people assume.
