Vinkento Leguna Challenge Video

[vinkento]

Since the challenge went bye bye, I've decided for the forum's viewing pleasure to put out my video for the challenge:

Tell me what you think guys.

nice job vink 👍

well, i dont feel i'm in a great spot to critique your technique
however, i'll mention that I felt your angles could have been pushed slightly more in a few places - turn 3 looked a little week compared to the rest of the vid.

Also, the tight exit you chose from turn 2 didnt match your line around the rest of the lap. I understand the reason to do so (speed was a little low). Just something i picked up on.

the middle Turn 1 looked a bit questionable, but the camera angle makes it hard for me to judge accurately. It shifts just when i'd like to see what happens. Great entry into that one though doesnt look overly forced or erratic, just effective.

Aside from those couple points, good clean lap. Nothing that really stood out and made me say "wtf! how'd he do that???" but a good clean lap nonetheless.

The first turn's smoke dissappearing was a result of letting go of the gas at the middle point. the smoke just stopped, but I was well angled for the whole drift.

Thank you for the feedback.

ah alright, that answers it
camera made it hard to definitively tell if any degree of drift was still in it

Dude I think you won Vinkento. Edit: Oops.. I didn't hit the last corner I oversteered

Well anyway here's my version.

Two good offerings. Had I had the chance to judge them, it would've been pretty close in some cases on not in others. But well done both of you.

Vink...man, you like the speed don't you?

Bamboo...Good stuff man. I can see some real improvement. I'm ont into the choki dori much myself, but if that's your style, it's all good!

 

[Boundary Layer]

ya, you werent kidding about that last turn bamboo

that corner left aside, it wasnt a bad lap
however, for the first half of the lap it looked like your corner entry was very late, and the exit was pretty abrupt. The weaving seemed a little out of sync with the course and didnt flow naturally into the next turn in a couple of cases. Turn 3 ad turn 5(the one before the corkscrew) are perfect examples of this. But good effort
👍

Very nice run vinkento..nice and clean..sorry I haven't been here in a while...been busy playing Socom 2 and other games(Halo 2 online)but that was a very nice run.

good job vink your drifts are always very fast but they arent racing drift style i like how u complete all of your drifts with alot of speed and still keep a good angle thru the turn .. i guess with all the speed u are able to link turns that are farther apart from eachother since the car is moving so fast good job ttyl

 

[Suzuki]

thanks guys! you should see my drifting with the wheel, it looks TONS better than before! i just NEED a video editor since i had to wipe the HD so ive installed Win2000 on here.
ive started drifting in 900* mode also. kinna trickey, but im getting used to it. i can enter the drift, and keep it, but on exit i mess up.
im progressing very good though.
and take note, that vid was made back before christmas.
