[@owixomen]

Hey Rob, I am one of those guys that used to yell at you in the comments about how if you didnt get your hands under control you may crash. well sir congrats its looking so much better, you are keeping your hands planted on the wheel and honestly you seem to have much better control over the car because of it. great work man thank you.

[@RobDahm]

I genuinely read those comments and promised to improve. The hardest moment is when you can see me understeering and really rotating the wheel. I still resisted the urge haha

[@owixomen]

No you can see your sorta still fighting the habbit a bit, but honestly so much better. Now back off the speed and just practice rev match down. Just like normal day driving practice the rev match. Once you get comfertable dancing on the pedals and gear box its going to be cool. Get after it my dude, Hell Yeah Brother.@@RobDahm Also can I drive it? cant hurt to ask right? Road America?

Epic to see both Rob and the car improve in real time. Someday when Rob is at Joel's level he will really be squeezing the most out of the 4 rotor.

[@TakeNoShift]

I've dissed your driving in the past, but now that your starting to drive like a real driver, I got nothing but props for what you've become. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you grow further as a driver.

[@RobDahm]

I had to earn it. It was trash before. Now it’s still trash but much better haha

I had the same thoughts. Much much better Rob! Great to see your journey and improvement, finally the car seems solid. Keep up the good work, Cheers from Hungary@@RobDahm

[@deadslow201]

@RobDahm One thing which might help you a lot would be PS4/5 and GT7 and live virtual racing. Very cheap seat time/ as much as you like. And when you have the basic idea of fast driving(line) in your head, it would be much much faster to do it on a real track. SuperGT as a prime example.

[@mintyCS]

@@deadslow201 wouldnt just iracing be better on a cheap moza dd wheel. He has the money to spend $500.

[@combatspace1881]

From a laymen's perspective, the blind turns and altitude change on that track are terrifying. Super stoked to see all your progress as a driver now that you've done all your due diligence on making the car work and finally get the chance to enjoy them at full rip. Can't wait to see more!

[@TheOfficialOriginalChad]

Let’s all take a moment to appreciate how Rob is focusing on turning smooth laps rather than trying to push it. To put it into perspective, he’s driving at the pace of a stock Tesla Model 3 with a good driver, and about 2 seconds slower than a stock R35 GTR. It’s really difficult for a driver to know there’s that much time left in the car without getting emotional and letting the right foot get you in trouble. Great driving, and phenomenal example set, Rob!

[@alexkenison]

Having watched you since trying to break 1000 hp in Abel's Dyno with this car it's awesome to listen to how much cleaner the tune has gotten over the years. The mid corner part throttle stuff is so much cleaner than it has been even from a year ago. Keep pushing Rob it's fun watching the bat keep getting raised every time you drive each of your cars. Never settling for good enough keeps the quality progressing.

[@ineedmymodfixed]

I would really like to see a rematch against ferettis previous project car challenge. This thing is so much more dialed in, I'm curious how it would handle now. Still a work in progress, but it's crazy to see how far you have taken it on your own.

Your driving has massively improved. I barely heard any gap in between getting off the brakes and back on the power, your lines look a lot cleaner, and you looked like you had great control over the car. Very nice.

[@RobDahm]

Thank you! First time left foot braking too. Aside from in the sim the night before haha way easier to modulate both separately

[@cooperjb12]

@@RobDahm Get some iRacing road course reps in along with your ample opportunity to translate that into real life experience and you're gonna be a beast fast. I'd also truly recommend some driving academies, whatever your local SCCA chapter recommends.

Man the progress this car has made over the years is crazy. Going from a sketchy 20B at best to one of the most refined and safest 3 rotors around. Maybe one day ill get off Power FC and embrace external sensor inputs and safties haha. Nice job man handling her straight too!

Really glad to see you at the strip, and love watching you continuously shed time off your circuit laps. Keep it up Rob!

[@JamesYoung61]

Well done for sticking with it, I have been watching for years and it is great to see it all come together and the car in one piece . Re. Driving on track I have hired a few pro drivers to coach me and it is money well spent, one of the things that stood out was "it is all about exit speed of the corner"

[@DeweyWRX]

Love seeing you doing testing. I'm excited to see the progress next year in Gridlife bud!

[@dr.z1657]

Rob. You're getting much better on the track. Hitting apexes and racelines and conserving momentum. Two critiques I have: You're braking WAY too early into those apexes. Foot off the throttle to hard on the brake should be split second. Cut that down to 1/3 the distance. If you're not nearly locking your tires into the apex, you're braking too softly and too early. Throttle pinned to the floor at all times otherwise. And keep the Rpm's higher at those apexes. Downshift so you're in your power band in a lower gear on the exit. Be aggressive. Every turn error is 1-2/10th of a second. It adds up really quickly over a road course into several seconds. The difference between the fastest and the slowest guys on the track is in the turns.

[@Shawnster509]

Great driving Rob, I love the content and seeing you and the car get better and better. Practice makes perfect!

That looks like fun, I used to live near that area and Sevenstock was always a great event. Your driving is looking better, I didn't see a single clutch ride or shift-into-neutral when braking, and most of the downshifts happened before the corner. 👍

[@7_au]

So much better rob. I for one am very impressed with how far you’ve come driving wise. Honestly I think spending some time in a lower powered car will help you quite a bit too in regard to rev matching and getting your racing line better. With such a fast car you’re having to focus so much on the car instead of the track and getting from apex to apex. But to be honest for a car this insane you’re doing incredible. Keep up the good work

[@johnathanedwards9054]

You may need to isolate the fuel pump on it's own circuit with a simple on/off switch to provide power to it constantly. Then use a fuel return line for any unused excess. I use this set-up alot for my derby cars. Love the passion for this car and the rotary engine ❤ keep it coming

Someone needs to hassle Joel for mounting his GoPro super low on his helmet so we are focused on his airbag. 😆 Or maybe buy him the same side-of-helmet mount that Rob has been using.

[@bigolbootycheeks9138]

Building a 20b track weapon from scratch is, in my opinion, the coolest thing you've done. No disrespect to the high dollar/high tech builds you're messing around with, they're phenomenal. But the 3 rotor has been around for so long, and we've gotten to see it go through so much over the years. I'm glad you've decided to keep a 20b car so relevant in your lineup. Keep at it, dude. Better, faster and cooler!

[@tablesoup]

Lots of love that you're willing to admit your skills were lacking. You've come a long way and I've no doubt you'll take the steps needed to get to the next stage along again. I've said it here before, but you *REALLY* should consider going and doing one of the racing school training courses - there's several very well regarded ones in CA that would help take you to the next level.

Try puting your headlights fully down. Having them up upsets the areo (takes weight off the front) This was a problem from way back in the day. I think from memory it had something to do with eddy currents being produced in the low pressure area created on the slope created by the back of the light and the bonnet. Maybe this is contributing to the understeer issue. Is it happening on high speed sections only?
