Thread 28569241

You are not a real racer if you've never crashed, if you drive at 10/10ths or 9/10s you WILL crash.

>>28569241 (OP)
But crashing a fast car proves a loss of control rather than driving talent.

>>28569247
Unless you're a spoiled kid who's always raced, you're gonna make mistakes while learning. You can't get driving talent without practice

What a retard lmao
Spinning out is the mark of a real racer. Crashing is the mark of a retard that can't judge risk or recover from a racing mistake

>>28569259
But it is better to learn from others' mistakes.

>>28569259
This is why I race in a Miata.

>>28569265
>front on collision
replace bumper and hood
>try and recover from racing mistake, spin out and side impact guard rail/other car tree. Car is now a write off

>>28569278
1. skill issue, no matter how you try to spin it
2. go replace your bumper retard

>>28569291
Yeah it's a skill issue, but no one who races is skilled enough to have not experienced it. Find me any professional or even amateur racer who has never crashed out

>>28569241 (OP)
Sure buddy what ever helps you sleep at night.

The road to success is paved with failure

>>28569527
Failure is dropping a tenth. Crashing is beyond that.

>>28569538
I'm sure you're the best Mario kart player at your middle school

Post your times in a real track if you're really a le racer

Over/under on this thread reaching bump limit?

>>28569259
Loool, you crashed. How embarrassing.

>>28569807
And yet you've never even been on a track, much more embarrassing

>>28569817
And yet you've never had sex with a woman, even more embarrassing.

>>28569849
OP has had plenty of sex with men

>>28569241 (OP)
OP here, just got quoted a gorrilion dollars for the repair

>>28570949
Eh don't bother, then you won't be as scared to push it the next time

>>28569241 (OP)
time to put a cool bodykit on it

>>28569241 (OP)
>If you drive at 10/10ths or 9/10s you WILL crash.
Speak for yourself.
Driving past 101% means I go wide, not crash.
Only retards crash by pushing 110% immediately and are unable to recover because they pushed way to far.

>>28569241 (OP)
>You are not a real racer
Why thank you for pointing out I'm not retarded.

>>28569241 (OP)
If you're a racer how come theres no tow strap or transponder? What track were you at? Do you race SCCA or NASA? Track days aren't racing.

>>28571194
I fucking hate the fitment of early 00s ricer cars. Look at that shit, it looks so fucking bad, how come retards back then couldn't figure out wider wheels or even spacers, all they paid attention to was on having dubs

>>28571262
>Driving past 101% means I go wide, not crash.
lol dude you're a slow fucking faggot stop pretending your hpde time attack shit is racing, it's not and never will be.
if you only "go wide" you were going too slow to be relevant to begin with and your "101%" is more like 75%.

>>28571407
european ricing follows supertouring style which has tucked wheels. american style has poked wheels and short fenders. japanese has poked wheels with wide fenders due to their road regulations requiring all tires be entirely covered by fender.
also iirc in many places like germoney spacers or wider wheels are illegal or require tuv certification so a lot of people just didn't do it.

>>28571410
theres no transponder on the car its an hpde
the tirerack banner is required for national level events so he clearly does something though

>>28569259
one of the most important skills is knowing where you can make mistakes and where you cant
so many spots where you spin left and youre mowing the lawn spin right and youre in a wall

>>28571482
hpde is the automotive equivalent of a mario 64 speedrun

>>28571410
I run comparable lap times to 911 GTS in a car with shit brakes.

Anyways, only retards crash.
push too hard?
Now I'm off line and lose 1/2 a second.
Retards push to 120% immediately and crash.

this is an interesting point but the rest of your post was a sweeping generalisation that isn't very accurate at all

>>28569241 (OP)
are you really bragging about crashing

>>28569241 (OP)
damn maybe i dont wanna replace my 8k piss missile

@grok how many times has formula 1 driver Smacks Verslappen crashed?

>>28569241 (OP)
i only drive at 7/10ths
but i drive at 7/10ths literally 100% of the time

>>28569241 (OP)
Agreed. Crashing is to racing, what unintentional discharges are to tactical shooting training/competition, and what shitting your pants is to long distance running. You don't want it to happen, and it's embarrassing, and people in the sport tend to downplay it to outsiders, but everyone with some experience knows that it's going to happen to you eventually, and, if it doesn't happen to you, it's because you're not pushing yourself hard enough.

>>28572167
I specifically asked for the AI to interpret "Smacks Verslappen". I will tell you outright that GPT5 failed this an defaulted to Perez.

Input exactly what I wrote to Grok and show me it's output, please. I need to quantify these AI's differences.

>You are not a real racer if you've never crashed
That doesn't mean crashing makes you a real racer
Post your lap times OP? Or are you just someone who crashed his car on the street because he was driving above his skill level with no actual intention to learn or improve his driving skills?

>>28569241 (OP)
You call that a crash lol try having half your front end caved up bonnet folded up in the windscreen and roof caved in from a roo

City faggot cunt

>>28569241 (OP)
Skill issue, git gud

My 5/10 is most of this boards 10/10.

Your 10/10 is my 4/10, faggot. You will bow to my racing penis.

I never claimed I was a racer, shut the fuck up Itsuki.

>>28573714
I have national championships, you have a logitech g27.

>>28573720
I have a giant racing penis. You have a small racing penis. I win.

>>28573724
nta but I have a very average racing penis, where does that put me?

>>28573727
ahead of that guy lmao

>>28569241 (OP)
You're not a real racer, you have no standing in any recognized sanctioning bod. You're just an idiot who pushed your limits and lost.

>>28569241 (OP)
I feel this way about flying a freestyle quadcopter. However, when flying and pushing my limits, my considerations are about losing a few hundred dollars on a quad as opposed to thousands of dollars on car repairs or injury

>>28569241 (OP)
Whats a racer? Im a racist

Baby's first time taking off traction control

>>28569241 (OP)
You Will Never Be A Real Racer

You cant live on the edge if you've never been over it because you simply dont know where it is until then.

>>28575878
What's that?

>>28569241 (OP)
PROTIP: if you own a car over a year without negligent crashing it at least once, you aren’t handling it enough. Crashes are a natural part of handling cars, just like tweaking your back is part of weightlifting and negligent discharges are part of gun ownership. I crash several times a year because I actually HANDLE and know how to USE my cars. It makes me a better car handler and pro racer, and it’s a small part of the price you pay in the sheepdog lifestyle Simple fact is, the “safety mentality” will build mental blocks in your head that will get you killed. You need to be comfortable putting your fingers on the wheel and pointing the car wherever you want no matter the time, place, or status of the transmission. Taking time to check whether the car is loaded whenever you sit in one will serve to make you hesitate in a personal ego defense scenario. You fucking safety idiots are going to get people killed all because of this fucking “crash” shaming. Cars are inherently dangerous, you need to accept it.

>>28577111
>negligent discharges are part of gun ownership
you almost had believable bait if you just didn't include this

>>28577114
This is an ancient /k/ copypasta.

accurate. only an idiot thinks going over 100% means smashy smashy, not a lost line or oops cleared a kerb and got dinged

>>28577569
explain how professional drivers crash all the time then, with a lot of them if you ask them how many times they will say they've lost count

>>28577598
>do thing for a living
>multitudes more frequently than an enthusiast
>no financial incentive to keep car intact if you aren't shit
gee I fucking wonder why they crash more frequently than weekend warriors. also way to move the goalposts from "pushing the limit doesn't mean you'll crash" to "but pros occasionally fuck up and crash"

>>28577598
In a closed wheel car:
>make slight contact
>body is scraped up, oh well
In an open wheel car:
>make slight contact
>both cars explode instantly, killing both drivers
Note NASCAR vs F1 crashes

If you're only doing qualifying or fastest laps, crashes are quite rare among all forms of racing assuming you're not racing literal beginners. Also F1 tracks have fuck-all in terms of runoff areas compared to most recreational tracks and professional drivers drive for multiple hours three days a week compared to regular enthusiasts who go once every 1-3 months.

>>28569259
Well the key is to test your limits on a track where you have sufficient runoff and not worry about crashing into anything.

>>28571494
>track turns to the right
>goes to the left instead
You're not very good at this, are you?

>>28569241 (OP)
Yes but if you are driving on the streets you're actually just a noglet retard ape.

Damn this nigga crashed his Z on the drive home from the dealership
