Love the video.
What does "maybe" mean though in rally terms? The co-driver says it constantly.....if I was driving i don't want to hear "maybe", i want what actually is the next turn! I'm guessing an estimate |

https://rallygroupbshrine.org/ There's a short paragraph in there that says...... "some drivers complained that the cars had become very hard to handle and that the performance level exceeded their abilities to counter the 'tunnel vision syndrome' it created in some situations. Co-drivers had a tougher time keeping up with pace notes as gear changes and corners came and went too quickly" crazy lol....

If a corner or bend is a bit dodgy or hard to read he says his speed estimation and right left and "maybe" means he is not absolutely sure or positive, the driver knows then he has to gauge it..... I got that off a TV show called "Wheeler Dealers"..then onto YouTube to check it out for real. Cheers Billy |

Actually the 12-16s are a lot quieter than the 6s and 8s straight piped.
