The next challenge
Has been prepared in a much different scenario than the hard tarmac of Silverstone
Gravel
Boys
This is the Rally Challenge
We've prepared for you guys, this 370z. Gravel track. Slippery
We want to see how you transfer the car weight in every corner how you control the wheel and specially the braking
Braking in slippery conditions, how you progress with the brake pedal pression
This is a very important Challenge to see you at Dubai
We will be watching one by one, I hope you keep focused and pedal to the medal
In this Challenge, our drivers will trace different race lines
And adapt to a diferent surface then tarmac
The basic principle is the same
Spend the fewest time possible in the corner
Incrementing speed while cornering
To this combination between speed and distance covered
Driver must try to pass in the geometry vertice of the corner
To try exit with the best possible position
Sometimes in Rally, driver should compromise the perfect line
All depending of the grip in certain parts of the track
Drivers must learn how to brake in gravel
The main difference between tarmac where the first reaction while reaching a corner is brake
In gravel they must be very careful while braking, to keep the car controlled
The continuous use of the track will make the perfect line constantly changing
That will be harder to control the car
Each contestant can perform a 2 laps test
Before the timed laps, performed by Lucas
After the recognition laps, the first to start is the portuguese Hugo
[Lucas] I see Hugo confident here
[Dani] He has what it takes
After a tired day, Hugo keeps as one of the favourites to the final win
This is his chance to keep on top
Hugo starts strong, but misses gear from 1st to 2nd
[Dani] Keep calm, keep calm. Accelarate, accelarate
[Lucas] Come on
He missed gear on the exit, 1 second he lost here
[Dani] And here 1 second is too much
Hugo saved the lap with a very fast second sector
Jesus, Luis e Diogo scored 3 good times
The portuguese Diogo, is the only that beat the score of his fellow countryman Hugo
It's time for Raul
After a bad first day, Raul needs a challenge to highlight him amongst the others
Dani and Lucas watch closely
[Lucas] Last oportunity for Raul
[Dani] Good shifting, good shifting go go
[Lucas] lost a lot of time there
He was going pretty well but
Now what we need to see
Is if he doesn't want to recover everything in the next ones, because it will cost him
Raul knows that he failed in turn1 in front of Dani and Lucas
And only a spectacular sector2 can save him
Raul gives it the max
Without anything to lose, he is risking it all
He's going too fast, last corner, entered too fast
[Lucas] He lost it, he lost it.
He got out of the track
What have I told you? he wanted to recover
He wanted to recover, he wanted to recover, he wanted to recover
Too much, he overdrove it
Raul is under pressure, it was his last oportunity to go ahead
It's time for Daniel
After failing all driving challenges, Daniel is out by Lucas point of view
His focus skill were clear at the laser challenge
We will see if he can keep the nerves in such a splippery surface like this
I'm patient, calm. I can focus.
From Puerta de Segura it's now or never
[Dani] Go Daniel
[Lucas] Very Good [Dani] Now he surprised me
[Dani] Look look look [Lucas] He's controling it with the throtle
[Lucas] I don't understand it... He was so conservative and now... What will I do?
[Dani] Look look what a control, what a control!
[Lucas] one eight eight
[Dani] Did u saw how he entered? We have a great group!
Daniel practiced with the sheep in his town, drifting to avoid sheeps... Very well.
The next challenge of the day
Dani and Lucas gave a wheel to our driver's hand again
Only this time, the wheel will steer a totally different car
We want to see your adaptability, each lap a better one
We want to see you are learning, because we will have just a few time
With the cars on track, Daniel makes his first mistake
[Lucas] 1st lap and he touches a cone
[Dani] They have to leave a gap. I'm going towards to tell them
The challenge ended and Daniel showed is difficulties in a tarmac road
With the first elimination close, Lucas see him more out than in.
You had to take more corner speed, this cars have aerodynamic
The ailerons are not visual, they make your car have more grip and you must take advantage of it
You had to feel it and you had to use more speed, i saw your breaked too much
You looked like a sir cruising in the city
The times in tarmac are revealing
Lucas wanted to see a good progression in Daniel
But he was last
Next part, Dani and Lucas have to decide who is leaving GTAcademy
[Dani] We have to decide on 2 persons so...
A difficult decision, that for 2 of our drivers, will mean the end of a dream
[Lucas] You are very good, all very good, but only the best can win
