If anything. Lead runs are way worse. You have the pressure on you to maintain speed. You've always got the thought of spinning out and causing an accident in the back of your mind too.

So let me get this straight. You think that leading is more difficult than chasing? You have no angle to match, you have no smoke in your face, you control the pace. How was my statement something that confused you? How is being in the front with all the control over almost every aspect other than spinning harder than sitting in the back trying to match everything with a smokescreen? I'm confused.

I have a bunch of friends I drive with and we have been driving for years. It's almost impossible to get 3 of the 6 of us to lead because of the implications of making a mistake while leading.

Yes, but at a professional level with a sponsored car, your job is literally to push yourself and the car to the limit and win. The goal is the points and trophy - not preserve the chassis. If you're afraid to push yourself, you don't belong at that level. Case closed.
This is why all the whining arguments on how leading is more difficult are all invalid. The lead driver literally has all the control. While this is still a difficult position to be in [and sure, the grassroots level makes this a much more anxiety-filled position] as a driver, it's still THOUSANDS percentiles more difficult having to literally mimic the lead driver in every motion, adjusting for speed and angle, etc. |

I assume that since you didn?t answer my question about whether you had been in that position before that you have not. All your arguments are moot.

Adam LZ has the coolest car in Pro 1 and 99% of us would be doing the same shit if we were 25 and had already built that kind of wealth, regardless of how he got there or his results so far. SuperDuper is just salty he aint in the kids shoes. Didnt he qualify in first a couple rounds last year and finish second at one of them?

...why do these arguments always end up like this:
"You doth not liketh something, therefore thou art jelly." You know he could just not like AdamLZ, right. I don't like AdamLZ either. The new car looks good, but he's Edward Norton in the Italian Job. This implication of jealousy never made sense to me.

Of course I’m jealous. You’d be a liar if you didn’t have essentially unlimited disposable of money to do whatever you decide to do on a whim. His car is easily the best looking in the pits but looking good is only part of it. I’m just saying the fashion in which he got to this position and his performance thus far apparently mimics my argument which is ‘moot.’
And don’t be fooled. I’m not a dick rider. This is obvious. But his financial situation is pretty cool. |

But our point is, who gives a fuck? Literally like half of the Formula D field has gotten where they are the same way and that's exactly how it works in 95% of other motorsports. You have money? You have a smidge of skill? You're marketable? YOU'RE IN!
Let's get back on topic https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/pts...197397085.html 100% of the information in this ad is incorrect. 1. not rare 2. not original 3. no one fucking knows

That's a nasty slap to the face to the rest of the participants of that show. The owner of that car has zero shame, is one inconsiderate fuck and should feel bad...
