I rode in a friend’s Ferrari (1978 308) recently and while I love how it sounds… I often can not get enough of the turbocharged sound. So if you love the sound of turbochargers doing work here you go:
Link for you RSS peeps.
It may be an older video of ours, but I love it and cannot get enough.
Update: Apparently I decided to post this exactly two years after uploading it to YouTube. Odd.
Slowing yourself down and not ‘pushing too hard’ will, oddly enough, make you faster. The principle behind it works in many other sports, especially those considered “Finesse Sports”. If you calm down and let your tools do the work for you (car vs golf clubs vs tennis racquets) you’ll find yourself performing consistently better.
There was a saying I heard at Team O’Neil Rally School, and it was: “Slow in, Out fast”. Regardless of the obvious: if you cannot make the corner, you cannot win the race. I think they were trying to tell us to calm down and not be so concerned with if it felt fast. If something feels fast, it doesn’t make it so, you need a clock to tell you how fast it really is. I think this is why simulators are so useful, while it may not be the real thing, you can work on your mental game in them.
So I would just like to instill these words on to you: “Calm The Eff Down“.
