Which one are you?

Orange car 1000%

I’m the type that does a backflip and lands upside down

im the second one , absolutely no self control

This is a matter of downforce.

Indy cars are designed to have enormous downforce for their size to pin them to the road so they can take turns tighter at high speeds.

The second car even if going the same speed isn’t going to “stick” to the road to make that turn like an Indy car. There was nothing that second car could have done other than take that straight away slower to get around that turn.

I had an aerodynamics professor in college that worked Indy for awhile and they started designing better and better airfoils until the drivers were just pulling too many G’s to safely race. So they switched to standard airfoils.

So Indy cars could stick even better if they wanted to

I’m flying high *crash*

Oh, I don’t play racing games. In real life, I’m a really good driver. In video games, I’m impatient and have a “Hold my beer” mentality invariably smashing into everyfuckingthing and concluding the game would be better as a demolition derby.

Sim racers and arcade racers.

I much prefer arcade racers

I remember playing Gran Turismo with my dad…

He always complained that I was faster by hitting walls than he was trying to drive normally.

Good old Gran Turismo 2 endurance races with the escudo by putting something heavy on the accelerator button.
