Ovals versus Road Courses

well, learn how you learn. it was just that if i crashed into something, as bad as it sounds, it would already be dead.

There, that's quote worthy

It was an abandoned lot, If I crashed into something, it would be bankrupt.

On Forza, the only aid I keep on is the ABS. Everything else goes off.

I apologize for making fun of Forza. Truth be told I haven't played it yet.

well by "learning how to drive," are we talking real cars or anything? cause ive been driving go-karts around my backyard and whatnot since i was a little kid. the only reason i never got into actual racing was because my parents went through a long divorce and things just got side tracked. but i didnt really drive a real car until i was 13 or 14.

We were talking about getting our driver's permit/license but telling go kart stories is more than fine by me Stang.

I think we were all 13 or 14. It's just that age where we're allowed to do more motor type stuff.

someone else did something similar.
they took a racing sim champion and stuck him in a Clio V6 and gave it to a btcc driver to race around a track.
the racing sim champ was sick before corner number 4.
when it was his turn to drive, he was, well, shit.

well i was wrong about this thread... i thought it wouldnt last long.

Gee, this thread is still going strong huh... Hehe, well not to get off topic
I first "drove" a car when I was around 11 years old.
My father did the pedals, and switched gears, I just tried to keep the car on the road.
The first time I drove a car myself, with my father sitting in the passanger seat was when I was about 13 (I had to sit on a little pillow to get me just up enough to see the road clearly.
It was a menual, and that's what I learned on.

Well there goes a story of my life... Haha

[TheStang00]

I learned by driving an 850hp sprint car... true story.







ok not really, but i wish
