Pretty cool video of Richard Hammond with the chief tire engineer from Michelin learning how to drift.

Enjoy

interesting, didn't know you could bolt a porsche seat into the M4, looks like one there for the driver.

remove stock seat and rails, add new seat and rails

Just watched this episode yesterday.... funny when he asks if BMW know that he is doing this to their car. And yes as pointed out he makes the pro sick!

Noticed the M4 has CC brakes, I guess that helps the stopping distance in the Michelins!

It's not easy sitting in the right seat !

Fortunately .. I've been instructing HPDE since 2001 and I've never had to

I did once have a student that was doing horribly... so much so that I borrowed his car to show him the line and after 3 laps of me driving his car at 7/10s.. HE got sick in the passenger seat ! I made it to pit in and he got his helmet off and let fly on the pit road. I was afraid it was my driving but it Turned out he had been

way too much the night before.

He drove a lot better after he yakked

Do you know what CC brakes are for?

Hint: They don't make you stop faster...

Yes, mostly weight savings and longer life.... can't make a joke around here! Oh and they don't create as much dust, so less cleaning on the wheels

No problem- been a Brit sarcasm is necessary. Cheers!

Watching that just makes me feel very sorry for the Michelin guy having to put up with that short arsed knob jockey.

I found that even after many years, certain cars still made me feel a little sick. Typically the really tightly spring cars that had lots of micro-giggling. Might have been jerky driving, a bit...

On hot summer days, it can be nice to have a novice student in a comfortable, softly sprung car that will even run A/C...cool breezes help when you spend all day in a helmet and long sleeves. The suspension smoothes out their issues and eases nausea.

The Grand Tour has been a fantastic season. Someone make a gif of James getting soaked with mud on his face. Lol

Till next season! Not sure how Top Gear can match this show.

vpatel867 · 02-10-2017, 10:58 AM

The last episode was epic. The one kid was born to drift.

After watching this, it makes me happy to announce next Mvasion will be held at Michelin Headquarters in SC.
