Porsche GT3 RS lap-time track CHALLENGE!

British rally driver Jimmy McRea had the prescription in his lenses changed to make the corners seem further away so he would brake later.

[@solidsnake6923]

Lmao.

[@stuffthings3728]

That's pretty mental. When I put my wife's glasses on, I get dizzy too.

[@adplays7261]

Jimmy McRea is a smart man

[@dandean3871]

I heard Schumacher had his throttle pedal configured so that when he lifted off a tiny bit, nothing changed.. love that.

[@u.a.nugroho]

If you're already always brake later because you're not a good driver then when using the glasses you'll brake more later and be a more not good driver. And when using in town you'll brake later too and will get you tickets because you stop after the traffic lights, scratches your car on buildings because you brake later in corners and bump cars on front of you when stopping. Should win Nobel prize!

[@StreetFerrari]

Did i just watch a 11min ad?

[@eahughey]

Maybe the time is faster simply because Matt was more familiar around the track and was more confident of when he could brake later and get on the power sooner after having learned the track from the first lap.

[@dimitrijepavlovic6932]

I love this generation of Porsches

[@mlamesq8]

Some of the second and a bit you picked up might be a result of the “transition lap” being the lap you took second. A bit of practice or a recon lap will have a similar effect.

[@adplays7261]

Yeah the first was basically a warm up lap meaning the second lap will boost matts confidence even without the glasses on

My god Mat has sold his sole now to a glasses company,😂😂🤣🤣😊

[@micho8726]

There's no way you wrote soul with an e hahaha

[@bradleymarais3785]

Next time try the transition lenses first. That way the tyres arent warm and you havent settled yourself in 😉

[@ALMX5DP]

Yeah that or do another set of laps back using the normal glasses a second time to verify.

[@peternguyen9894]

Mat, your videos are awesome but this one in particular just didn’t gel well for me. I’d prefer you perform 3 laps for each glasses and also have another non generic polarised glasses just for better comparison. If you’re not going to perform a proper experiment, I’d enjoy it more if you had Yanni explain your in-depth performance and 30 click up links every time you mentioned the glasses instead.

[@user-sv4rp3yd4x]

This was a outrageous add

It's just polarised sunglasses ... the sepia tone makes it easier to see when u drive for some reason .. I got sepia toned polarised sunglasses ... any brand will do just make sure they're polarised. The polarised part helps greatly reduce glare and the sepia tone increases contrast making everything pop and look hd instead of making then darker like black sunglasses ... black lenses reduce all spectrum of light equally making everything darker whereas the sepia lenses blocks all lights except the ones related to the sepia tone .. hence the colour and this colour compliments road surfaces. Just like a red lens makes everything look red because it's blocking all light spectrum from going through to your eyes except red hence you see everything red. OK ill stop now but you get the point 😂

[@harimadhavan1712]

Hi, you seem knowledgeable on the lenses and coatings. I was advised to get some Leica lenses with their coating, as it helps with low light and night driving. I have to admit that as the light drops towards evening and early morning low light, they seem to have a very good clarity to them. At night time, the lights from cars and other objects are less blinding or glaring. In everyday light they have a great crystal clear clarity to them. I wonder, hence the reason why I'm asking, how much is this clarity etc due to my prescription which has gone up by almost -1 in strength, or if it's the coating that has aided the clarity? They're very expensive lenses and I don't want to pay that amount in future. I am wondering whether there are alternative options. Thanks in advance.

[@roger.g.walters_6398]

Amazing!!! It's great to see people always trying to make improvements to the convenience of other people.

Nice work Mat, great lenses for driving in all daytime conditions!

[@yahyasaid668]

9:00 wooow the process is grear

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

I’ve been using these for a couple years… they are indeed awesome in my prescription sunglasses.

[@-Dash-]

Like ski glasses/goggles that have been used for decades to help you see the slope properly with the glare of the sun on the snow?

[@gobinduppal4429]

Problem is that Mat may have been quicker with glasses because he used the glasses later on in the day. Meaning he had practice running the track before he even put on the glasses; and ultimately more comfortable and new the track better. Thus, he had a quicker lap time. This is definitely a flawed test. With all that said, I still very much enjoyed the vid.

Maui Jim does the same or even better because of technology in them! But even any sunglasses will do the thing compared to the regular ones!

I have to say Mat you look good with them glasses on

Matt I v got 996 with a sport exauts, It opens a valve above 3500 rpm and no problem with the legal inspections in spain. Its an amazing sound!

[@stevecoulthard8060]

Whole thing was like watching QVC

[@yeahitskimmel]

I mean a 2nd lap will almost certainly be faster than the 1st. Tho if it really was the glasses, and old drug store pair would do the same

[@msljm]

It would be interesting if you did the test first with the driving glasses as testing second is also when you’re more familiar with the track. Also, polarised lenses are great for reflections however not so great for reading LED displays and Ben Collins says that never to use them. I’m not sure I agree with Ben as I use them and find them great in most situations

[@Chris-ri7hb]

You mean LCD displays as this would result in cross-polarisation and a blanked out screen. LED light isn't polarised so is unaffected.

[@msljm]

@@Chris-ri7hb yes, I agree as that’s been my experience as well however when you look from certain angles you can see the screen going black/blank. I also believe that HUD’s also have issues with them.

If only they could make lenses better for night time driving,the oncoming cars with the LED lights can cause me issues on certain roads by dazzling me,it's not because they're on full beam,just so bright white and the dipping function seems non existent at times or very delayed!

The real test should be a high quality sunglasses vs the transition glasses. Using a normal glass vs the transition is irrelevant because the normal lenses has no sun protection at all.

When did you start wearing glasses cuz every time I see you doing your thing you're not wearing glasses?

[@PatchedBandit]

So. Sunglasses help in the sun 😂

[@jensschade1874]

Isn't it counter productive to cancel out reflections on water with the polarization!? Like this you see puddles of water later and makes it more dangerous (aquaplaning). In racing you want to see the puddles as early as possible, which only works without polarization...

[@Cougarsamurai]

So in order for Matt to get some free glasses we have to watch a pointless video. Who would have thought modern sunglasses help when it's sunny? It's worth bearing in mind that there is a legal limit for how dark driving glasses can be. Still at least we have a good drinking game if you have a drink every time he says transition driveway lenses..
