Spinning off track in the c4. Random McLaren p1. Other highlights from my track weekend at Inde.

LOL The king of cringe's car. Beat the snot out of it.

Oh yea.......Intelligence at it's highest level.

We were kind of hoping it would break. No such luck.

I have met Jimbo. He was certainly nice enough in person

theplatinumog

Anyone have thoughts on how to improve the video? Driving, editing, or presenting?

pologreen1

Yeah... Do your own thing, and most certainly distance yourself from "it's Jimbo baby" the filmer for others that little kids watch. The vid was pretty much like most other car vids on youtube IMO.

Everyone wants to make it on Youtube now of course, good luck.

If you are serious go buy or mortgage a lambo or some crazy exotic and make the front page.

It takes time and money to make money.

Trying to give "my" honest feedback.

Too bad he does not own the car when you hammered on it.

like this? Me driving Rob in my new car. I have a c7 that I track 50+ times a year as well.

Matt Farah (smoking tire) was supposed to drive my Noble at Sonoma Tuesday, but it won't be ready =(

I am driving my friends 2019 GS at Thunderhill tomorrow 😎

I am approaching it as a track enthusiast. I will do 50+ track days this year + a rally. I also teach performance driving in real life.

theplatinumog

I do appreciate the feedback. Really? I don't see too many youtubers on actual race tracks... especially all by themselves. I was hoping my insight on actually tracking exotic or fast cars could be my thing.

Needlessly tearing up a Corvette is....

theplatinumog

Needless? I am trying to get better at driving...

the skid pad stuff was after the tires were all burned up from track use. You ever try drifting on a road course? It is not as easy as Chris Harris makes it look. The c4 (at a cheap price) is a great practice tool. If it breaks, don't worry, we will fix I sure don't want to practice on my c7 or Noble or alpha 4c (this video)

Spinning and burning up your tires at full throttle in circles nearly flipping it is one of the stupidest things I can imagine doing to a car. It proves nothing (as in this video) except the drivers willingness to destroy the tires, engine, and possibly even the entire car. Doing a controlled "burnout" in a drag race is completely different and necessary to heat up the tires for better traction. What I got from viewing this video and the posters own comments, in my opinion, was that the poster feels a C4 is basically just a "beater car" for him to learn on so he can drive his "real" cars later.

Surprised any road course would let someone drive that way.

theplatinumog

fun when we are the only ones out there.

the head pro was saying it was good to practice, idk.

theplatinumog

I went ahead with your advice.

pologreen1

I get it that I might have rubbed you wrong, I was just being honest. I used to have some YT channels back in '08-2010 that were growing for the time. I think more people now than ever want to try it but it is harder than ever.

If that is really you, I would say you have a strong chance at making it. (I will watch it later)

You seem confident, have money or are willing to spend money, and have determination.

Congrats on an awesome purchase, or what ever you di to get it. Even if borrowed like most... it's content.

theplatinumog

I was trying to be funny. Obviously, I didn't buy the car because you told me too. Sorry if I sounded upset.

I do appreciate the feedback

theplatinumog

Turns out drifting on a road course not as easy as Chris Harris makes it look. But it is still good practice and totally necessary on a road course. There were several successful drifts not pictured and this was good practice. The head pro's were all for it.

theplatinumog

Amazing what you can do when you are the only ones out there days at a time. We changed the track lay out when we feel like too.

Always was on the fence about jimbo being an advocation of the C4 youtuber. Guys like TheCorvetteBen gave the generation a better rep. But Jimbo is a good guy, he just thrashed the car more than he did tech videos on it.
