      It’s because ricers are made for attention and Instagram likes and lemons are made for racing.

    • @jfbeam
      @jfbeam Před 6 lety +35

      Slight correction: your team roster has to have 4 paid driver slots filled. They don't have to be on your team, or even drive your car. (read: find a team with more than 4 drivers, and have them fill in your slots. it's the same money, and no one cares what car you drive.) A jag was driven _solo_ at Barber. We (duff beer) have driven down a man many times. (even down two, as I recall)

    There is nothing I hate more than the question "how fast did you go" from non-racing people. Circuit racing is not about top speed, it's about maximizing lap times. G forces and maximizing them to the grip limits is what it's about. Go to the salt flats if you just want straightline speed.

      @nunyabusiness896 Před 6 lety +4

      And I was saying, whether this or any other racing on a circuit track, it's about driving the car to the limit, not the top speed that matters. LeMans is a boring track in spite of being one of the fastest, yet Laguna Seca is a blast in spite of not really having a particularly high top speed on the main straight for a given vehicle. Asking for top speed for a circuit track is a dumb question and proves that you don't understand racing if you ask it.

    As an employee for 24 hours of Lemons now, and a 6 year veteran: This is THE best description of what Lemons is! Halloween VS Gasoline is genius.
    It can be overwhelming at points, but it's the greatest achievable challenge anyone who ever dreamed of racing. And one wild weekend on and off the track!
    Thanks for this video, Donut!
