Re: Audi R8 Testing
yes I am biased. Any problem with that? I simply think the audi R8 is a step in the correct direction.. but its needs to prove itself and develop into a car in the mould of say a 911.. Do you get it?
Thanks for the clarification and that’s a great way to express it, instead of the disrespectful ways before.
I dont care much about what you learn and I certainly wont argue with someone half the world away and with so much arrogance it stinks my face.
I’ve never believed you should care what I learn. Remember that the arrogant statements were made first by you on this thread. Is anyone who points out your arrogance, arrogant too?
Why dont you come back to Singapore, have a chat with me over kopi, and lets see how much of the world you know..
Meeting for the purpose of an antagonistic test is pointless. I don’t seek to teach you anything about the world anyway. Most people, unlike you, do not publicly claim to know what the real world is and declare who operates inside or outside of it. They also hardly make offers to teach people about life. They may have their views, but they do realize they are a subjective grain of sand (humility) and so cannot rightly use them against others with any confidence. This is exactly where you have shown your greatest arrogance, greatest naivete.
Please remember that it was you who decided and declared that I did not operate in the “real world”.
I know very little actually... I would sure look forward to your majestic enlightening.
The fact that you think you are qualified to teach others about the real world and about life, does not mean others feel the same way. Not everyone has such overconfidence in self.
there you go... i got you... cant win the war of words, you plonk in more words and hey... wow pompous! Sounds great! you just learnt it from the thesarus? hee i learnt it when i was 5 years old...
I’m not sure why you see this as a war of words, rather than a comparison of logic. Here you reveal only more arrogance by suggesting that while others can only learn certain words out of thesaurus (it is spelt with a ‘u’ by the way) in their twenties, you have already learnt them at age 5. What makes you so special?
just what i needed... i was too lazy to retrace my posts.. and i knew someone like you would... SO, is there ANYTHING wrong with my perception of the car?? We are all entitled to our own descriptions and interpretations.. any wrong??
There are no laws preventing anyone from saying almost anything, as long it’s not seditious, religiously or racially intolerant, etc. So you have a right to speak arrogantly, illogically, etc. but others are also free to discuss your arrogance and illogic, not to mention plain erroneous claims. What else is being addressed here is your convenient forgetting (you claim it is laziness to retrieve) the silly things you’ve said. If people have no regard for accountability, then there is no point in structured discussion, and forum purpose is lessened.
There is no law preventing you from doing something as insensitive and stupid as stopping on a street and pointing and laughing at a disabled old man trying to make his way around, but you should prepare to catch hell if anyone sees you doing so.
Irrelevant to you, but not irrelevant to me.. get it young kid??
Let’s not descend into name calling. In your great wisdom and knowledge of what Life and The Real World are, have you not realized that name calling goes no where? Please doc, you’re scaring me
cut that precious crap...
Eh... go rinse your mouth out with some saline solution or alcohol, and then take a chill pill.

Cays,
I can’t speak on the RSR steering feel and effort since I have never worked on those cars or discussed that specific topic with the usual ALMS Porsche guys. I can ask when I next see them though.
However, from direct experience with Indycars as well as from discussion with drivers, engineers, crew chiefs, team owners, and technical directors (for teams as well as team chassis suppliers) with experience ranging from F1 to LMP to Trans Am GT, Daytona Prototypes, Champ Car, GTP, etc. I can say that the better drivers where required will always drive more with what they feel from their body in the seat, and visually though it is more difficult to do. Some cars react so quickly that driven pure closed loop (driver senses events and reacts to them, not experience based) cannot even be caught once visual has come in that slip angles are too large. The poorest drivers rely the most on steering feel to drive quick since that is the easiest to perceive.
It is not at all uncommon to arrive at a setup that drives great but that has too little steering feel or too light or heavy a steering effort (say maximizing straightway speeds by trimming out front wing, and making it up for it by using as much caster (steering effort raised) as the driver can tolerate to jack weight to the inside front and outside rear tire to get the car to turn with good front end grip)
Adjustable power steering is a great advantage in that you can tailor is to where the driver can comfortably complete the race distance and secondarily, keep some feel and not go too light or limited adjustment steps messing around with a finite number of progressive rack or pinion tooth, plain pinion tooth, ackerman plate length, or even steering wheel diameter options.
