2:28:249 FD2R Vbox video by Kazama Autoworks at the Time To Attack 3

[Staff]

Here's a Video of Kazama Autowork's 2:28:249 Lap through the Racelogic VBox Lite. The FD2 Honda Civic Type-R ran on full race slicks within the Racecar / Time Attack Machines category. What we couldn't really figure out is the Driver, Lai Wee Sing's controversial downshift style. Is there a reason why he isn't revving enough in his heel and toe to match?

ive been waiting for this vid, best!!!!

 

[freeman1314]

That's a scary FD2R. But really don't understand his downshift, the only thing i can think of is maybe he rev up to shift easier but not so high to match the rev to create more node dive.
Not really sure about this but it's the only thing i can think of.
Any sifus mind to explain more ?

 

[Laptimer]

simply poor driving
yes he fast but can be faster with better driving

car is good

 

[Charles]

Some call it 'poor' driving, i rather call it babying the car. There are drivers who arent born to trash and extract the last bit from the machines they drive.
His time speaks for itself and its far from being 'poor'.

 

[lonelylilpig]

He's line is very good but driving technique like wat freeman n lap timer said is abit lacking (not poor). If he can heel n toe better mayb he could have clock afew tenths quicker.
Tats wat i felt la, if i'm wrong don't shoot me .......

agree with you.. after all its lai wee sing that we are talking about that has won many race before.. and i don't think its poor driving since he make the fastest time

 

[fast]

he's style of driving very similar to the gymkana japan champion (do appear in best motoring )
.. most of british driver drive like this.....without heel and toe..
good driver doesn't need to explain style of driving
true skill ... don see anything wrong....

 

[joshen_wong]

Does anyone know the setup of the car?

if you come time attack and not going for best time then better to go home

slick can easily brake 1.3 1.4 g why max out at 1g only like street tyre? t1 n t15 have to drop 130km/h+++ as fast as possible so better dun waste time braking. wan to brake then brake, dun half half brake

yes he win this round but it not show how good he is just how poor driving everyone else

no heel toe = best way to blow clutch blow driveshaft

 

[E-LiTE]

now everyone talks like they are some sort of driving god.

why not put your money at where your mouth is and go do a lap in time attack. he did, and give him credits for that.

to be honest, i am very disappointed with the participants at the 2nd/3rd round of the events. maybe in a few years time, time attack would be different from "regular" track days

 

[jun_ng_1208]

His race line might not be the best but he has the effort in the car and also the event :D It's a good run and hope he will be able to do even better in the next round of TTA ;)

 

[EGNINE]

huhu ZTH got many Jeremy Clackson lol...
even the fastest man on the event so far also got criticized

LOL, true keyboard warrior talk....

 

[neokenzo]

I dont see him drive as aggresively as the other videos I've seen, but undeniable the results speaks for itself. No matter what, he is the fastest :)

 

[xMika]

Not aggressive enough .. jaga his car maybe ..

[ben_gsr2s]

Great lap..
Love to hear the engine screaming.. full volume really worth it!

Credit to the driver, he's the fastest that day..
so i think it is not good to just simply put all negative comment about his driving

anyway, some one been asking before..
just wondering.. what is the spec for that car?

no need tell me this driver hisstory everyone oso know ah lai and what he win before. no doubt!
but there are many driver better than ah lai who drive better and oso go into much better type of racing no just drag or touring car. such driver know how to brake and downshift properly to go faster

i oredy mention wat i know is wrong yet no one can explain why actually is correct
only ask me what drive how fast. all these mean nothing one. if no one can tok abt basic just anyhow believe any good driver even though he anyhow tok to cover bad thing he do when driving, then no pt toking oredy

my english no good but you may surprise at wat i do and who i know. my chinese better!

jaga for final? by stress clutch? driveshaft?

 

[Charles]

I'm still wondering what are your basis to judge a driver who tops the list......perplexed....Button is a relaxed kind of driver as opposed to Kimi, i dont see anyone labeling Jensen as a 'poor' driver.
