So eh, How old are you guys/your cars that you all seem to know about double (de)clutching?

I dunno about anybody else but I only know of things like double declutching because my dad used to drive cars without synchromesh in the old days and figured this was essential learning for me. My knowledge of heel-and-toe is entirely down to that video of Senna with LoaferCam(TM) and a subsequent history of burning clutches in rental cars.

I read about it on the internet and do it because I'm an excellent driver. I also read that race drivers haven't done it in years, but I think I know better than them

mrfart posted:So eh, I just turned 30 on Friday last week, my first car was a 1989 Alfa 33 manual. It looked like thishttp://imgur.com/a/kbJpD except I used red and green electrical tape to give it a tricolore racing stripe down the middle of the bonnet, roof and boot. I did not learn about double clutching, nor did I learn about single clutching. In fact I burnt out the clutch a couple of times.... I was not a good manual driver. aequalis fucked around with this message at 13:16 on May 4, 2017 |

I think the last major Formula-Style cars to use non-paddleshifts were the 2006 Champcars. Still were sequential manuals though.

Speaking of different driving techniques, I once tried left foot braking. Brain instinct kicked in and decided that because it was my left foot, I must want to mash my foot down all the way. I left a nice set of tyre marks down the A5 just south of Daventry and another lovely set of marks just south of my belt. Luckily I was stupid enough to try it on a clear stretch of road late at night, so no one had to react to my rapid deceleration from 70 to 0 on a single lane carriageway. I am not a clever man.

The brake position is awkward as gently caress in a road car too.

I practice every day, and I still screw it up on track when I have to trail brake with the left foot and then downshift.

All of Joe's articles are based on hearsay and rumor that no one else ever reports on, which is funny because he's (by all accounts) one of the most disliked reporters in the paddock and one of the least likely to break any major story.

I don't think he did have them for a bit. He got in as a replacement for Deter Reiken or whatever his name is one GP and that seemed to open the flood gates.

He has permanent press credentials because he used to work for Autosport and has attended every race for like 20 years.

Pretty sure hes led some of the press conferences as well during grand prix weekend. Not to mention the couple of successful F1 books he's authored. It seems like when he started his blog the ability to publish his thoughts broke his brain. No longer did it have to go through some sort of oversight or colleagues calling you out on your bullshit.

Joe Saward does definitely have the air of a man trying to rebuild his life three years after a complete mental breakdown that was never really addressed properly.

Also that time he kept sniping at James Allens blog cause it was vastly better lol. Speaking of JA his own site seems to have gone to complete poo poo. He's hired on some extra writers and they all suck.

What was the last really out there prediction that he actually got. He'll often make really obvious softball ones like "Alonso isn't moving to Mercedes after he said he isn't moving to Mercedes" then claim it as a hot scoop.
