I know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
+TheRoadDriverly Had another XJ do that, as well as an Acura RSX, embarassed a TT pretty good one time too. One of the wildest ones was in the 4dr hatch Lebaron (RIP) that Jeep replaced, took a corner a bit hot and it started to push, so I let off, collected it, and looked in my mirror to find thst somebody in an old (although much newer than my car) Mercury Mystake had tried to follow me................Aaaaand understeered out of the accelleration lane, across two traffic lanes (which were empty because we had the green light, thank god!), and nearly biffed the left front corner into the median. When I saw that, I stuck my size 13 into the turbo and GTF Outta There!
I honestly have to say every show on the motortrend channel is just fantastic. Roadkill, Dirt everyday, ignition, etc. the hosts are great, they are very well produced, the have a great balance of humour and information. Even the ad reads are good because they can relate the ad to the original topic of the video. Definitely my favourite channel on TH-cam.
These Racing Line episodes are perhaps the best pieces of automotive content on TH-cam. Pobst is a great host and these videos are extremely well put together
Thank you so much! I have never really understood the relationship between the shortest route and the fastest route! Also going slower to go faster makes sense because you don't blow the apex out!
Why does this video skip in the playlist? This my fav new DRIVING show ever!! Prolly only one so far!! Randy Pobst is Driving inspiration and truth!! Thanx MT
For some reason this show feels like the Bill Nye the science guy of racing concepts. I really enjoy the way it is shoot and delivered. Looking forward to the next episode..
+Chicken Soup They use racing lines, too, but the radius is so huge that it's really not obvious. It's also pretty impressive to see them chuck those heavy beasts around places like Sears Point and Road America.
+Chicken Soup you sir are clueless. NASCAR drivers must follow an even more strict line than road courses. every NASCAR driver got their start as a successful driver somewhere else first and most certainly would make you look like a 3 year old downs patient on any track.
+rob brown Hmm, I'm not sure I'd say that have a line that's more strict; however, any variations in that line will result in losing maybe a tenth of a second, which, while on a road course isn't a huge deal, on an oval that's massive. Some tracks like Charlotte, California, Homestead-Miami, etc have a variety of lines, any of which can be faster depending on the tires and setup.
computiNATEor well said and my thoughts exactly. you must pick your line, where your car is fastest, and then like you said, if you fuck up one little bit, boom there goes 15 spots.
Another great episode, it seems with every episode I watch I learn the verbiage necessary to geek out about racing to less enthusiastic fans. I'd love to see an episode about driving stick. it was easy for me to teach my son but communicating with others I stagger with word choice.... yours always seem to be on point.
Can you guys do a video with the differences in the racing line for formula cars, street cars, brake zones, power out of corner areas for crappy brakes - big power, big brakes - crappy power, trail braking, and other factors and scenarios that I'm sure I'm not even aware of.....I LOVE the Motor trend content, I learn something new all the time, favorites are Roadkill, Racing Line, Ignition, etc, Keep them all coming! I think you guys should do a contest to do some hot laps with Randy, assuming he is ok after that explosion at 5:25!
A bit late but these are great and very informative videos. 5:25 had me laughing so hard with the over the top consequence! Thanks Motor Trend and Randy.
Randy, you are great! You actually have a good speaking voice when you are not stressed. Make the audio guys earn their pay, always talk your calmest and most velvety, let them worry about volume.
Great info Randy! I'm glad he brought up late apex on a decreasing radius, bump, and off camber turns, i seem to have trouble with this type of corner not hitting the apex late enough.
One of the most important skill to identify & use for any racing, in games & real world. I already know the line from numerous hours of watching Le Mans & GT racing, but a cool video nonetheless.
I would say arc length rather than radius. With same amount of traction or (same car) the wider you go, the more arc length you gain. Ie, entering a corner at 19.4 m/s with a turning angle of 20.93 degree with a track width of 17.6m, your arc length is about 98.3 meters (from turn in to apex) and 98.3 meters from apex to turnout. Speed increased to 19.6 m/s, with 0.23 degree gain due to mild over steer, arc length decreased to a shorter 98.29 meters from turn inm 98.29 from apex to turnout. One more try, speed increased to 24m/s which gains just 0.21 degree of turning angle due to under steer, arc length increased to 98.31 meters. So that, there's a certain speed that'll give you the best combine of steering angle and speed. So, mild over steer does cut the distance travelled. It's a good method. Just remember, more loosing (mild over steer or under steer) means less acceleration at turnout, especially for most AWD cars and this is why I have to point out why GTR is a good car with the rear wheel biased all wheel drive system. However, more speed with same amount of steering angle will cause you more time to travel. Although more speed means less brake, however, cornering distance depends more on lateral speed.
This is an awesome show! Keep it coming Randy! Could you also discuss when we should be braking and accelerating around a corner? You touched on it briefly in this video but that's what I usually have the most trouble with.
Love the show! I noticed though that a few episodes ago Randy discused passing and the technical rules behind passing during a race. I being the layman dont know anything about these rules. Maybe if you guys did an episode on the rules and technical stuff on racing I and others could understand Mr. Pobst better.
Randy Pobst, one of the best personalities in motor world. Who agrees?
+Nik Brudar Totally.
+Nik Brudar I'm a big Randy Pobst fan.
Then again I like all the personalities at MT.
Adam S they are all alright! Albeit Randy remains the most entertaining, yet informative and educational one.
+Adam S (Dolby109) Expect jason
Paul Shelton what's wrong with him? He can be entertaining..
Randy is the BEST. Please never leave Motor Trend!
+Aneesh S
Randy Pobst for Prime Minister!
(or President or whatever.)
+Aneesh S Agreed, this guy is one of my favorite personalities on the show.
Motor Trend...........KEEP THIS UP!!
+nezerac That's the plan!
+Motor Trend Channel You should do an episode on driving in the rain/wet conditions.
+joszer
Agreed, a good excuse to get Randy doing doughnuts if nothing else
joszer
I second that! I've noticed that we don't see so much wet racing in the states.
+Motor Trend Channel Nice
if my ninth grade geometry class taught me about ways to reduce lap times around a track I would've paid more attention in class...
If only geometry cared about going along the shapes than the shapes itself, which 'defines' geometry...
@@Jtngetabettername LMAO
I know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Marcel Casey instablaster :)
Randy is The Man. I can watch this guy for hours.
I still use the line when driving my van, keeps it fun.
Yup, confuses people when you do it in a XJ Cherokee though, especially when you pull off a curve that they can't in their little sporty car.
+GreenJeep1998 And by curve, you mean rolling it. XD
+TheRoadDriverly Nope, although I tend to see somebody else experiencing sudden understeering events in the rear view mirror.
+GreenJeep1998 Probably me, tbh.
+TheRoadDriverly Had another XJ do that, as well as an Acura RSX, embarassed a TT pretty good one time too.

Randy. Your the man. I am so happy to see you hosting instead of just being the guest. Look forward to more videos in the future.
Great! It became one of my favorite shows on MotorTrend
Another one from Randy. Bless you Randy
This is my favorite show on MotorTrend. So glad to see Randy Pobst doing his own show, and the content is superb!
I love it. Every comment praising Randy shows that Motor Trend fans are a sharp group!
Thank you so much! I have never really understood the relationship between the shortest route and the fastest route! Also going slower to go faster makes sense because you don't blow the apex out!
This is the best series Motor Trend ever put out! Entertaining and educational at the same time.
after years of GT and Forza, I finally understand the point of why the racing line is the way it is. Thank you. Great series
This feels like the sort of program students will be required to watch in classrooms for decades to come. And that's a good thing!
needs to be a core class
+StalePhish Glad to hear it!
This program should be a federal requirement.
Why does this video skip in the playlist? This my fav new DRIVING show ever!! Prolly only one so far!! Randy Pobst is Driving inspiration and truth!! Thanx MT
This guy is a legend. Videos don't last to long but give Alot of information in them. Absolute brilliant
For some reason this show feels like the Bill Nye the science guy of racing concepts. I really enjoy the way it is shoot and delivered. Looking forward to the next episode..
Randy, keep up the good work and levity...you epitomize having fun in racing, which sometimes is forgotten in the fog of competition.
Randy is everyone in motorsport's goofy uncle and we love him. Thanks for giving him his own show, keep it up man!!
He's the best part of Motor Trend. Oh and Roadkill.
Randy youre the best!!!!! the MT channel have the best shows of all cars channels, Congratulations and keep going!!!!!!
This would be considered astrophysics to a NASCAR driver

+Chicken Soup lol this is kindergarten to an f1 driver.
Look forward to every new episode, this is one of the best motoring show doing the rounds right now. Randy has found his mojo.
Love this show! Randy is the best
I love track days! Can't wait for the warm weather to be back!
Another great episode hosted by Randy "The Man" Pobst.
Thank you, Randy for making it fun to learn the technical stuff about performance driving!
I'm enjoying The Racing Line series. Randy is doing a great job!
Another great episode, it seems with every episode I watch I learn the verbiage necessary to geek out about racing to less enthusiastic fans. I'd love to see an episode about driving stick. it was easy for me to teach my son but communicating with others I stagger with word choice.... yours always seem to be on point.
Everything's covered, even track bumps. Good job.
Probably the most useful automotive youtube video I've watched to date, great stuff, keep this going!
You're the man Randy-- even the Tire Rack minute is great!
Im glad Randy got his own show to share some of his knowledge!!
Really great show and really great host. I've always thought Randy should have a show to his own and boy has he nailed this one!
Yes keep it coming. Its actually helping me to get better at the track.
Randy explains it very well . i love it .. he also presents it in a fashionable way lovely
Love these videos but my favorite part so far has to be in this video starting at 6:36. Thanks guys. Thanks Randy.
Best show on MotorTrend right now :D Great job, keep it up!
Motor Trend please keep this going awesome series! Roadkill too!
Thank you Randy & Motorchannel for an awesome and educational show!
The writing for these episodes and Randy combined are hilarious!! Great work!
Brilliant show, Randy Pobst is fantastic. More videos like this, please MT!
Fantastic aerial shots and graphics. The visuals really compliment Randy's great explanations.
Great video,
Randy is the Bill Nye of Racing :D
Motortrend this is the best content ive seen from you guys yet. Really looking up! Concise and to the point
+James Park Thanks for the feedback; we're glad you're enjoying The Racing Line!
This is such a good show. Props to Randy and the team!
why u make me wait so much? ? ? this guy is the best pro driver + funny guy = Raaaaaaaandyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
Just learned about angular velocity in physics last week, love when the classroom overlaps with real applications :)
Great series.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS NEW SERIES.KEEP THEM COMING GUYS !!!!!

Randy is a great presenter and this content is awesome! Thanks!
Tyres need love too.
Amen, Randy.
love this series, RP is my favorite
I loved the wipeout an explosion on the decreasing radius corner!
That was great fun, thank you Randy! :)
Randy, thank you for making these videos man. Kick ass.
Randy Pobst is the man.
Love this series. Pobst is awesome, and video production is terrific. Keep it up, MT!
+Michael Porcelli
Much appreciated!
Best show in the Motor Trend line up
When Randy said loser baby what not i was half expecting the camera to pan to unsuspecting Jason lol. Loving the show guys keep it up!
great job randy ! you can tell you put a bunch of character in this video. keep up the great work man!
I love this series.
A bit late but these are great and very informative videos.
5:25 had me laughing so hard with the over the top consequence! Thanks Motor Trend and Randy.
Great episode again. Randy is the best.
This is a great explanation video, it is simple to understand and enjoyable to watch.
Motortrend needs to sell some "Apex Responsibly" stickers. Randy has really found his groove on these videos.
This was a really cool watch. Fun, nice production values and informative. Thanks guys!
man Randy is awesome!!! he should do an episode on braking. keep it up motor trend!!!!!!!!
Wow have a look at that precision in the circle.
Good show!
Hooray Cadillac! It might be fun to see how much overlap there is between the production cars, race cars, and maybe a Cimarron.
Love Randy for these episodes!!
Randy, you are great! You actually have a good speaking voice when you are not stressed. Make the audio guys earn their pay, always talk your calmest and most velvety, let them worry about volume.
Think high viscosity oil flowing over your cords, not that watery racing stuff.
“Now I’m drifting! Cause it’s fun!”
Lol
Great episode! Loved the birds-eye visualizations and the acting chops on Randy XD
You are the real teacher
I love you man.
I'd say that coke-lines and pickup lines are more important than racing lines
+gagomand Then I'd say you've never been at speed on a track before! Lol
we found the loser everybody.
lol maybe!
why not all 3?
The coke is the least important!
Great info Randy! I'm glad he brought up late apex on a decreasing radius, bump, and off camber turns, i seem to have trouble with this type of corner not hitting the apex late enough.
Don't we all
Randy vs The Stig?
I'm going with Randy
One of the most important skill to identify & use for any racing, in games & real world. I already know the line from numerous hours of watching Le Mans & GT racing, but a cool video nonetheless.
This show is so great its funny interesting and super cool Motor Trend keep it going please!
Wonderful video! Fun to watch, while clear explanation and brilliant visuals do the teaching.
Every time I go shopping with a shopping cart, I always nail that apex turn. Always.....
I would say arc length rather than radius. With same amount of traction or (same car) the wider you go, the more arc length you gain. Ie, entering a corner at 19.4 m/s with a turning angle of 20.93 degree with a track width of 17.6m, your arc length is about 98.3 meters (from turn in to apex) and 98.3 meters from apex to turnout. Speed increased to 19.6 m/s, with 0.23 degree gain due to mild over steer, arc length decreased to a shorter 98.29 meters from turn inm 98.29 from apex to turnout. One more try, speed increased to 24m/s which gains just 0.21 degree of turning angle due to under steer, arc length increased to 98.31 meters. So that, there's a certain speed that'll give you the best combine of steering angle and speed.
So, mild over steer does cut the distance travelled. It's a good method. Just remember, more loosing (mild over steer or under steer) means less acceleration at turnout, especially for most AWD cars and this is why I have to point out why GTR is a good car with the rear wheel biased all wheel drive system.
However, more speed with same amount of steering angle will cause you more time to travel. Although more speed means less brake, however, cornering distance depends more on lateral speed.
Great video! Love that ATS-V too!
This sort of thing made me sign up for MTOD... Keep up the excellent work fellas.
Another great show. Thanks Randy.
It's cool to see Randy Pobst at my local track
I enjoyed that. Some simple, but effective tips. Go Randy, go Randy...oh...sorry. Got a little carried away there.
the best channel motor trend thank you and Randy is epic nice channel nice show keep up!!!!
Looking forward to your take on the traction circle.
This is an awesome show! Keep it coming Randy!
Could you also discuss when we should be braking and accelerating around a corner? You touched on it briefly in this video but that's what I usually have the most trouble with.
Randy is back!!!!
what a great episode.....keep it up motor trend
i actually learnt this through trial and error in racing games when i was 10, but i'm here for that cadilac in the thumbnail XD
I LIKE HOW YOU PRESENT THE SHOW
Awesome series
Love the show! I noticed though that a few episodes ago Randy discused passing and the technical rules behind passing during a race. I being the layman dont know anything about these rules.
