/o/ - Auto

3 time formula 1 world champion and all around badass Nelson Piquet once described Monaco as "like riding a bicycle in your living room." I am inclined to agree with regards to pretty much all street circuits and autocross courses. Are there autocrosses that don't engender such feelings of claustrophobia?

claustrophobia? what you gonna hit? a wall???

There is only open space and cones/tires

>>6317

It's not about hitting a wall, it's about not doing much other than tight turns and braking.

Skill is about turning and braking, not slamming the gas pedal, any tard on the street can do that and thus make ppl, like american cars or bmw owners, feel like they are master racer when all they are doing is pressing a pedal. The mustang joke, for instance, makes for a perfect analogy.

Way to willfully misunderstand and make that a personal attack. I've driven formula cars competitively, im hardly a pedal mushing fag. I've always preferred tracks with flow versus those that stop and start. Lime Rock Park is my favorite that I've driven. Street circuits drive differently to flowing road courses, obviously autocrosses make use of limited space, but are there many that you've encountered that reward flow?

I have no idea where that is. I dont do formula, I do rally super specials, rallycross and gymkhana. I also dont know where you live or if you have a BMW so maybe these races are different there, I read there are some odd rules like speed limits… here the cones are often used as guidance (making a track on a large empty space), some tracks have stop boxes or reverse zones, slalom etc so flow varies even within a type of event according to the guy that "designed" the track
