I don't understand what he's saying.  I know what he's doing, don't understand the terminology.

I don't understand what he's saying.  I know what he's doing, don't understand the terminology.

after you watch a few....maybe...  there is no set way, driver chooses terms.

all terms are upcoming road conditions. SO driver can paste foot to floor, or brake ahead of time....and prepare.

here are some

number=meters til landmark (jump, turn, crest, surface change)

hard,medium(pronounced "meed-jum" ) or easy=difficulty of turn.

minus or plus= off camber or banked...

cut,don't cut=obvious. take turn inside or go wide.

opens or tightens=do you floor it at the apex, or do you take it easy until turn straightens?

there's tons of them.....

exposure: cliff or dropoff OUTSIDE turn.
slippy: ice or mud

some drivers use numbers to grade curves. 4 right into 3 left etc...


they only get to drive each stage ONCE before the rally begins, in a regular car at legal speeds. taking notes as they go.

here is an example:

100 medium left opens 50 over crest jump maybe 100 easy right minus tightens into hairpin left opens

lol translate:

go 100 meters to 45 degree or so turn, floor it out of corner, go 50 meters and maybe jump, or just lose steering for a sec, go 100 meters into 30 degree or less turn that is off camber, and youll be sliding through, turning directly into  handbrake sliding (pendulum) that you floor it out of.

the jump maybe is because they only got to drive it slow speed, so they dont know

the rally terms are much easier to say when going 100mph through the damned forest... agreed?

yeah I know I out on that... sorry

This looks like a lot of work but it would be cool to start a US version of the Camel Trophy race like this.  Apparently in this vid, this IS the whole race.    But I'd definitely steal this idea for an obstacle in a race.
