Could you...

If one of the team reps needed a driver and they asked you right now....AS IS....to race in the next rally, could you do it, and if so...how would you do?

I would sit in the car, drool for about 4 hours. Start the engine, give some gas, feel the power, drool some more. Laugh friendly at my co-driver, and pass out.

It would be an awesome experience.

Consequently I would be disqualified for obstructing the track.

To be serious, I need to learn how the car handels first (Also need to know how to interpret pace notes). When I got the feeling I would race flat out. Win or loose, I will be fast

To answer in a serious manner...

Well, I'd need to improve my driving skills a lot. Learning breaking points, throwing the car around etc. etc. But if I could do just that and practice, I'd do pretty much OK, well that's what I like to think.

Once a helmet on my head, it's flat out. At least in karting it is. Rally driving of course is a different story.

IF you ever have the opportunity to co-drive with a professional driver, you'd know what it will be like. If you're not used to it, it's pretty terrifying.

If the opportunity arrose I'd take it for sure. However there is no chance I'd be at all quick and would very likely bend the car rather severly if I tried to be fast.

Face it, if guys like Valentino Rossi and Martin Brundle can't do more than a handfull of stages, far from the pace, before planting it in the weeds, what chance would regular drivers like us have?

I'd make sure I took lots of detail pictures though!

If it were a New Zealand stage I'd finish and do reasonably well- but anywhere else I'd crash- and love every second of it

Hehe, If it's a tarmac rally that should be really nice, because these WRCcars, really stick on the road like flies on a cowpie.

I would LOVE to do it, but I think I will be endlessly behind the others!

But this would be an experience to never forget!


I mean I get a huge rush of going 60 (@karting), what would it be at 130, throwing your car around corners and using handbrake turns, I would be sorry for the word, don't have such a big vocabulary "orgasming" all the way !


PS . what would be the right word to put here ?


Peace, VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAR

Olivier
