Quote : | "What you see above is the full director's cut version of Mark Higgins' record run around the Isle of Man (http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/isle-of-man-tt-course-new-record-mark-higgins-subaru-wrx-2014-06-06). Not content with just giving us the jaw-dropping footage, Subaru managed to source Mark's USB slot and download his heart rate, skin temperature and the g-forces his organs endured as he threw his US-spec WRX STI round the 37.3-mile course in 19m 15s. That's an average speed of 117.5mph. That's ridiculous.
The Manx native was at full-throttle for 80 per cent of the time as he skittered across the narrow public roads, through villages and over kerbs at 160mph.
So if there's one thing you do today, we strongly advise that you take 20 minutes out, put in your headphones and have your eyes widened at the sheer commitment of Higgins as he talks you through his incredibly ballsy lap." |

^^ that save is noteworthy. The in-car shot shows how much steering input he had to put in. At 150, that’s kind of a big deal. I’ve felt something similar at 130, you don’t really get scared during it. It’s just amazing as you pull out. Also, it’s interesting he’s narrating. I would think one would need all the cognitive capacity they have, while trying to set a record... 4/7/2015 5:08:01 PM |

Kinda cool, though whomever recorded that did a horrible job. Around the 0:40 second mark you can see the Agera belch out some flames.
Also, I laughed a bit when the Porsche occupants talked about being "able to take him". From a roll that Porsche doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of pulling on an Agera. 4/14/2015 1:55:30 PM |
0EPII1 All American 42541 Posts user info edit post |
^ LOL yeah, the Agera is quicker than a Veyron from 0 to 200 mph, and the Veyron in turn is quicker than the LaFerrari and the P1, which are in turn quicker than the 918 (again, talking 0-200 or at least 0-150, not 0-60).
But that's insane speeds even for the Autobahn.
Imagine the 918 crashing into the Agera at those speeds, or the Agera crashing into a car in front of it and then the 918 crashing into the crash... the scene would be like an airliner crash - no large pieces to be found, and no bodies, just DNA! 4/15/2015 5:24:48 AM |

^^ - depending on that track, it's possible. it's really tough to completely change direction on a full weight bike. the weight and leverage on a supermoto make it much easier and the agilty to slide through stuff at lower speed makes it easier as well.
a friend of mine on a zx6r trying to chase another friend on a damn harley, on patriot. bar leverage is huge.

yeah. There's a lot wrong going on in that vid. Lines are all wrong, but even worse, it feels like he keeps looking where he doesn't want to go instead of where he does want to be. You don't look where you might crash because that's going to be exactly where you go. He could also press harder into those corners. Feels like he's afraid to lean the thing.

that video was hard to watch because where i was looking and pointing my head instinctively based on the road ahead was not where the camera was pointed, pretty much ever. I'm pretty sure my first road crash looked a lot like this, riding over my head on a group ride. 5/20/2015 8:34:36 AM |

yeah he wasnt even going too fast. he would get to a point in the turn where needed to push forward on the inside bar to lean it more but he would just hit the brakes or run wide5/20/2015 7:04:21 PM |

Dude in the truck had his kids in the truck with him and he crossed the double yellow line to intimidate the biker? That guy doesn't have his priorities in check. Two wrongs don't make a right. Even worse, he's a father who is setting a terrible example for his children. 5/28/2015 11:24:07 PM |
