How would you rate your driving ability?

lol! the 1.22.03 was in the daewoo, on road tyres.

my skyline best is 1.11, stock except 9psi boost.  I think that's the club record still.

hahahaha....

so you're in the Daewoo cup? coolies...

1:11 is the current track or the previous one?

Good time though. :uh-huh:

[franks]

duncan, 1.11 is very good around wakefield! i am soo hanging to get the skyline out there. anyways, i'm with merli on most points here and that is the rating system is still a little stuffed.

i dont think that going through the nasho or old pac qualifies you as a good driver, it certainly shows your an enthusiast though?

i personally think lap times are a better indication of a drivers ability, but in general, a car can be better suited to particular tracks and would thus prove to be overall more quicker.

i'd like to think that my driving abilities are good - i obey and respect the road rules and most importantly respect my fellow commuters

thats an exceptional time with a stock sky considering typeR's can only get 1:12:xx around there. And i would go as far as saying wakie is more suited to the typeR's (DC2) stock.

teh daewoo.......... teh daewoo..........

[fatz]

what tyres you running duncan

you cheater

[Duncan]

sshhhh, this threads about driving ability, not whether magic tyres are cheating

Oh, and Carlo/Tosh, what on earth is "teh daewoo"?

[GoldZilla]

Hmmm, on ManNGolf's ratings scale, I'd put myself at a 4, and one Merli's I'd rate myself as a 3...

I think there are plenty of things you can learn on the road that won't apply to a track dash, and vice-versa.

I can think of two drivers in particular, where I'd rather be next to the female who's been driving for around three years, rather than the male who's been driving for over ten (and has owned a torque-steer king MX-6 Turbo and a 180SX)... The female still has a few things to learn, but at least she keeps an eye on the road, and looks ahead and reads the traffic at least a few cars in front of her...

hahahah yeah im with pete on this duncan..U ARE A CHEATER we all know what tyres ure running .. saying that id rather have a stock car with ure tyres.. than a modded powerfull car.. ..

i havnt done wakefield yet.. (dunno if ill ever get the chance too).. but best time at ec ended up a 1:58 on dunlop fm901's... i dont think i could pull any less than 1:55 on standard tyres though..

i would say a good driver is one who knows how his car handles in all situations.. knows the limits of his car.. and when driving in traffic is as aware of everything around as much as he can be.. if u are all of these then u are better than 99.99% of drivers out there..

[S4PLAY]

i think i'll go a 1

no lap records, but a 1:12.2 at WP in a stock HSV shitbox... lol

and a 1:29.8 in Formula 3 at EC... ok, i'm cheating now

[Duncan]

lol, I think you've got the EC record now!

[S4PLAY]

nah, palmer did a 1:28.9

and i did my time in testing so it's not considered official

[fatz]

i could get one arse cheek in a f3 car

[S4PLAY]

lmao

legend pete, always good for a chuckle.......

[kabab]

i hear daewoo are bloody quick on their roofs

[GTR-Part II]

hey me n my cousins always invent something new..weve actually done figure 9s..its not that hard u just need alot of space. were more holigans than drivers. like if we went to wakefield park instead of cutting corners and going in each corner the fastest way possible we would enter it sideways....and if u come out of the corner with no smoke ur the biggest f*cken disappointment ever!...and after he comes off the track:"BRO WERE DA SMOKE..I CAN'T SMELL IT..YOU F*CKEN IDIOT..CAN U SMELL DA SMOKE BRO?....F*CKEN IDIOT!"..."BUT I DID 1'17sec"..."I DONT CARE WHERE'S DA SMOKE BRO..UR A F*CKEN DISGRACE!"*smack across da head*
