Watch the camera angle from inside his car, it did not get messed up as bad as I thought it would. Definitely not something you would do on any other lap though.
I'd imagine nobody thought it would work or nobody thought anyone would be crazy enough to try.
You're absolutely right though, they're totally gonna ban this move. Not doing so is not only going to mean constant damage to the tracks, but it'll be an increase in accidents and deaths.
Still, being the guy had to have a rule made to hold you down is in win all of its own.

Along those same sort of lines, I remember seeing a documentary about Lancia being the last team to win the WRC with a rear-wheel drive vehicle (the Rally 037).
They were having to do a race at Monte Carlo where part of the track is icy while the other part is dry road. So no matter what tire you use, you are giving up time in the other part (treads=slow on ice, studs=slow on pavement). But Lancia needed every last second they could get because of how tight the competition was and the downsides of their car.
So on a corner just after they got past the ice on the downhill, they had a team van waiting for them. Once they got there, they stopped, quickly switched tires, and then kept on running, losing only a few seconds due to the fast change over. After the race, other teams complained about them doing this and said they cheated.
After further review, WRC concluded that while there was no rule saying they could do this, there was also no rule saying they couldnt do this. So WRC allowed it, but clarified that such a move was off-limits from now on. Didnt matter though since Lancia placed high at Monte Carlo, which kept them in the running for later races and would allow them to win in the end.
It was either Top Gear or the Grand Tour, I think it is the latter.
You are correct. It was Clarkson who did the whole segment, and it was great in his usual way.
I think my favorite one of the bullshit Lancia did is still the one where they only made half of the Civilian-spec cars they were supposed to, but managed to bullshit the inspectors long enough to move the cars from one lot to the other and change their VIN numbers to make it look like they made enough.
If you aint bending the rules, you aint truly racing.
That is a great Nascar game too. I know alot of people like to cite Nascar Thunder 2004 as the peak of EA Nascar games but Chase for the Cup was my shit. Me & one of my best friends to this day played the hell out of it back in high school.
And as far as GameCube is concerned, I highly recommend Dirt to Daytona, it was also a great Nascar game and devoloped by Monster Games. Monster Games also made Nascar Heat for PS1 and Nascar Heat 2002 for PS2 & original Xbox, I also highly recommend those games. Monster Games made of some of the best, maybe the best, Nascar games of the 5th & 6th generation of video game consoles.
So he was just maxing out the throttle and using the barrier to "steer"? That seems stupidly simple for something that hasn't been attempted before. That said that some scuffing on the car afterwards. I'm sure if will buff right out, though.
There's no way you can practice real world driving in a fucking Gamecube game, he's just saying that for headl- Oh. OH!
Dude fucking physics exploited his way to the front.
Incredible.
I've pulled that move to win countless need for speed and forza races. Just bully your way to the front on every turn to win lol.
Me too. Never thought it could work in real life, though. I assumed the friction would slow the car or that it would disassemble from the grinding.

I'm kind of shocked there wasn't already a rule against this. The real prize is this guy is going to have a rule named after him.

I've also seen it. It was either Top Gear or the Grand Tour, I think it is the latter. Lancia really stretched the rules to their limits that year.
As for the maneuver used here: I've read somewhere that he was not the first to try this. He was the first that succeeded.

This is the correct answer
Footage from the race.
In the post race interview, he cites Nascar 2005 on the Gamecube for the move.

What a fucking hero.
Did he wreck another racer with a turtle shell?
The Days of Thunder/Cole Trickle pass? (THIRTY TWO YEAR OLD MOVIE, FELLAS)
Days of Thunder isn't as well-remembered as, say, Top Gun.
I forgot all about the movie, too.
Besides, don't get your panties in a bunch. That cool S you used to draw as a kid? Centuries old. Not that deep.
Someone had to post it. I wanted to, but didn't.
As I have often said, anything you need to know in life you can learn from the Nintendo GameCube.

Uh oh, someone came up with an clever and innovative new strategy? Better tamp down on that shit, ban ban ban!
lmao, the amount of speed he had rocketing around that wall looked like a physics glitch, like wall-running in an FPS.
Well if a more than 1 other of racer attempt this next race it would be catastrophic.
