Wet lines and slippery drifts in a wet Nordschleife

Wet and very slippery Nordschleife. Following the wet lines and sliding sideways.
The 2001 Miata NBFL 1.6
- Rear torsen differential
- Final 4.1 ratio
- 6 speed gearbox
- Exhintake mod with high peak characteristics (not efficient, but fun)
- ME442 (around 120+ derp horses)
- Vmaxx coilovers with some special sauce
- Aggressive alignment -3°front, -2.1° rear
- 0 toe all around
- Cold intake from Wish (works surprisingly well...)
- Roddisons brake pads
- Nankang NS-2R 195/50/15 squared (squared means they never been round...)
The whole thing is made to have a very peaky power band (poor's vtec yo!) for the "feels".

The wet surface, the sun in the background and on track, the cars… the tandem drifto at around 10:50… man… 😍👏

[@ArisDrives]

Yeah not gonna lie, it was one of those "let me tell you a story kids" moments

[@heelandtoeknee]

I do applaud you for shifting with the stick; not with the passengers knee cap! 😂 it’s so great to watch you living our dream! Great video that kept me smiling the entire time I watched! Thanks Aris! 👋

[@TwistedSymmetryUK]

Ahh i remember this lap showing you guys the wet line :) great fun hope to see you guys back soon!

[@marcodefeo91]

tommà, vedi che si scivola da morire qua sotto!!

[@m4dalex478]

Someone might say that the best conditions for a Miata is a wet Nordschleife :P Awesome lap, thx for sharing!

[@ArisDrives]

It was definitely fun. But I still prefer to push on a dry track

[@MixedRealitySimRacing]

Preparing for AC2? Nice Lap and great car control like always!

[@ChrisBreezy992]

14 mins of huge 😃

[@ArisDrives]

naaah the miata is tiny... :P

[@bmwM3M5M6]

Now we want the same video but in a GT3 🏁🏁🏁👍

[@RonaldRegain]

Glad to see you have some fun. Take care and stay safe :)

[@tharsgaard663]

That almost looked realistic , what FOV were you using ?? .....

[@ArisDrives]

It's about 135° horizontal and 180° vertical. Subtract some of it because of age... somewhere thereabouts :P

[@mrluken-official]

Nice AC mod, seems real. Oh...

[@r3sid3nt3vil8]

Nice catch at 10:50

[@femkeligtvoet8896]

Tricky but beautiful conditions for the Miata, I bet. But I cannot decide who is the bravest of these two, Aris who is driving or the passenger. 😀

[@ArisDrives]

Passenger is my son! It's in the family I guess :D

[@AntalopeAUT]

We only say one thing when we see #Nordschleife : DRINK !

[@ArisDrives]

cheers!

[@tikalein2739]

Nice Sound ! Still under dB limit ?

[@ArisDrives]

Yes, it is! The exhaust is stock. It only makes angry noises from the intake ;)

[@thegersonmania]

wrong FOV

[@ArisDrives]

...but very good fps! :D

[@thegersonmania]

@@ArisDrives hahaha... Great

Now if we could get someone over there at 505 to either figure out what the malfunction is with untold games and there inability to put out updates that don't break the game evertime. Us console users that continue to stand behind acc on console and pay for servers just keep getting slapped in the face. Our leagues are dying because of this ongoing problem. We love the sim but even the most diehard supporters are a out to wash their hands of it all. Please help us b4 it's a lost cause.
