- Amateur driving the Exocet (far from my cleanest lap of the day) vs a former pro driver in the ("poorly setup") Atom.
Check out my Exocet Promo video! The car is for sale! (3/3/2019)
• Track Toys Exocet Promo - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Miata 1.8 vvt with a Mazda Speed Turbo and aftermarket ECU. About 170-175 whp with 10.5 psi of boost.
That...seems a little low for 10.5 psi
You've got me so psyched. I've just started my build... The driver of the Atom has three times the money is his ride, and he "bought it" instead of building it. You gave him hell. Great job and fun to watch.
To be fair, the exocet isnt a difficult build and who's to say he hasnt built that atom as it does come as a kit car.
Yeah guess the atom driver was shit, that's why he could handle the car and pull away from corners lol
@@jack-spicer1381 if you can't tell the difference between these two drivers, I don't know how to help you.
The driver of the exocet is way smoother and confident.
But we don't know any of the details like Tire status and possible mechanical issues etc etc.
These videos never do the truth justice.
btw that looks like the funnest track on the planet
Windshield should be glass for sure.
While they look similar the Atom and Exocet are quite different in behavior, personality and track feel.
Remember pro drivers often go slower to practice their form, driving line, and technique. That's how you get better at driving. Not just going all out for best time every lap.
Fair point, but I happen to know this driver and this was...personal ;-)
No race driver I know does this…. You go absolutely harry flatters unless you are tyre/ fuel saving 😂
Good examples!
Windshield is definitely causing a lot of buffeting you can see it bounce, vibrate and bow. Certainly causing you some time. Great video though and looks like a lot of fun.
Nice run! What organization is running the event?
Andrew Funston JZilla Track Days out of Atlanta. Fantastic group.
rip headphone users. is this still the miata engine?
Yes it is. 2003 VVT motor with factory Mazda Speed turbo.
somebody ran away and hid!! lol
The arial atom seems to have more power , but in terms of cornering speed they seem almost even.
agreed.
These kind of comparisons are never fair, they never factor in the same tires and the same driver, possible mechanical issues etc etc.
I mean look at the beginning of the video where the atom was just casually staying behind the Subaru.
It's just impossible to tell what actually happened.
Where is this at?
Atlanta Motorsports Park north of Atlanta, GA
that windshield needs a frame lol
A frame would certainly help. Or safety glass.
dammit this needed real sounds..
Shame the Ariel kept fetting held up with traffic to make it a clean 1 on 1 dogfight.
Thomas Hayward yes indeed. Absolute blast. We never did get a rematch.
All things being equal ( which I do not think it is , I think the ariel is the better car ) it comes down to the driver , if the drivers were identical , then the atom would win , ......every time
Overall concur. For 1/4 to 1/8 the price I'd still take the Exocet. Atom driver was qualified and talented. Atom needed suspension setup work and likely tires.
"pro" driver missing apexes by a mile.... There's certain basics pros usually nail no matter what car they're in or track they're at
Sorry but thats not a Ariel Atom..Maybe a clone of one..Ariel Atom looks completely different and has wheel fenders on all 4 wheels and that car doesn't have any
Paul Parker the blue car is an Exocet. The Atom is in front of the Exocet. And I’m absolutely certain it’s an Atom because I know the owner and driver.
It looks like an SRA Atom - they made the track only versions - stiffer chassis etc. They often take the wheel arches (fenders) off in order to allow wider wheels doing so will create less down force though as those wheel arches do hep with downforce - especially on the Atom 4.
Aburrido circuito. Autos parejo no podrán adelantarse excepto en curva 1🤷🤦
