Randy is awesome. I had the honor of losing to him some years ago when he made a cameo at a local ETR autocross. He was good enough to jump in a friends stock-ish Legacy GT (IIRC) and proceed to finish top 10 (raw time) in a field full of some then-current national contenders.... but was humble enough to still take a work assignment at a rainy event.

As if racecar setup part of the video wasn't the best part. The whole school of thought behind why new racecar drivers like twitchy cars is something only someone with years of experience and insider knowledge could tell you. By far one of the best intervies on this channel because of these few minutes alone

[@randypobstofficial]

When your life and this $500K car depend on it, you KNOW it, Bro 😁

[@TheSnivilous]

I don't think it's necessarily downforce, it's aerodynamic pressure. Overall drag on the car. Same reason you have fins on the back of a dart. They aren't creating downforce, they're for adding drag to the back to keep the rear wanting to trail the nose. Makes sense you'd want that on a car. Even if you have no downforce, if you can get more drag on the rear then it'll naturally want to point straight.

[@pwrightisright8611]

Agreed! I had a chance to meet Randy at PRI 2017, talked about modifying Volvos, and showed him a few pictures of a Volvo 740 wagon with a Twin Turbo LS V8 my friend was building. He lit up with excitement wanting to know everything to the point he started introducing me to others saying this guy knows what's up! I've never felt embraced by a public figure that I look up to, so much so that it was feeling like we switched roles. Truly a gem of a person he is :)

[@Turshin]

I did Xtreme Xperience and it completely changed the way I think about speed on the track. I drove a Ferrari 488 @ M1 concourse in Pontiac this past sunday. The car was the fastest thing I've ever driven yet it was easy. When floored, the 660hp launched the 3000 lbs. car like a rocket but it was dead straight and not twitchy at all. So I completely agree with Randy. You need a planted rear end to go fast on a circuit. What I learned was that being fast on track is all about confidence in suspension and braking. The 488 had outstanding brake performance. Maintaining as much speed as possiple through the corners is how you get the best lap times. The 488 went exactly where I pointed it each time. Xtreme Xperience was life changing for me. There is no better motivation for a car guy to become rich, than to drive a high end sports car quickly around the track. Now me and the old lady are saving up to buy a C8 next year. (Dont make prancing horse money....yet😉) Thank you Xtreme Xperience.....I'm now ruined🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mr.c2639]

By next year the C8 Z06 might be nearly as fast as a 488. C8 is perfect target.

That exactly explains why when I modded my 997.GT3.mk1 and replaced the OE LSD with a Guard 50:80 LSD, swapped out the OE Engine mounts for much firmer mounts, removed the rubber from all the rear suspension, and finally installed the RS wing and always ran it at full attack angle, that the car became massively faster and easier to drive at the limit - the car's ass would be glued to the road on entry, even with massive trail-braking and you could trust the rear end to be extremely predictable
