Well i finally got my bullet cam, so i recorded the first 3 stages of my last tarmac rally.

Unfortunately i had steering problems since the beggining of stage 1, the car didnt turn properly specialy to the left in high speed corners... really scary scary shit, the wheels just didnt turn.

That slowed me down a bit, specially on the 1st and 2nd stages before i got used a bit to this problem... and i also were concerned that if the steering totally failed i would crash hard.

im not putting the link to the stage 1 since it blows.


Stage 02: http://baal.liquidpoker.net/Tlax2007-tc2.avi

Dumb co-driver leaves the microphone on the floor so u cant ear much besides the engine, there is a scary moment where you go into a big downhill at 125mph (arroud minute 4:35 i think) to then hit an uphill... i would love to have a G meter there but damn that feels really ugly and a bit scary at that speed.

Right after that a slow 90° right, where my co-driver probably gets scared that ill understeer since i didnt "scandinavian flick" the car, decided to pull my hand break... i obviously told him to never ever do that again, u can see that in the video hah.

Stage 03: http://baal.liquidpoker.net/Tlax2007-tc3.avi


its the same stage but in the oposite direction, driven a bit better but unfortunately i had to let go the gas sometimes because of the steering problems.

----------


The videos are 100+MBs so be patient

The car provies too much shade to the camara, so apparently it opens way too much so the road looks too bright, i might have to add a LED to make the camera shut a bit so it looks better.

Just watched the video. I'm jealous man. That looks like it would be a blast. Too bad there isn't too much of an interest around here. That hill looks like fun! :D
