Testing the Dallara Stradale: Onboard at Autodromo Varano!!!!

I was very fortunate to have a trip to Dallara arranged for by my friends at Doerr Group. Here is part one of two from my trip to look behind the scenes of a company that has their hands in just about anything that goes fast in the post 1960s world of motorsport and supercar...

In a couple days I will do a video talking about not only this car but some of the insight as to the company behind it, production like video and information about the type of construction. In the mean time I hope you enjoy a little intro and a lap with this very cool car!

I am looking forward to share with you more of my feelings on how the car handles, the feedback it gives and the excitement....

Huge success Robert, do not hesitate to dig deeper in technical and driving aspects; many of us can’t wait for that since you are one of the very few who can do it .

That clutch slip was pretty noticeable! There's some Dallara footage on Auto Addiction for the NS.

Questions:
1. Column mounted vs steering wheel mounted pedals. Which is better in what situation?
2. Curb lines on a track, sometimes it's dangerous to go on them and sometimes it's not. Care to explain?

Really been enjoying your content man! All of your viewers strive to be in your position so you are creating a lot of positive motivation!

I’d never heard of this Badboy had to look it up when you 1st posted about it! What a weapon👌🏻🤟🏻

gearbox ratios and overall shifting performance feels like early beta version

[mkonji]

I'd love a video tour of the Dallara factory, showcasing the whole design and manufacturing process for this car and the other things that Dallara makes.

[syedrehanfida]

It's the first time I have seen or heard about this car. Great lap!

[waqidj]

Damn bro that’s a fun track. Good work.

Bring on everything you possibly can get! Dallara builds racecar chassis for many racing classes - Especially "open wheelers". So they definetly do know what to do in terms of building a sports car! The concept of a roofless track-car isn´t very common, nowadays. I´m very excited to hear your thoughts about the "Stradale" on the track. And i totally love the prospect to see this car as an APEX Nürburgring Taxi! Count me in for a taxilap in this beast!

I love this car since I have seen one on a fuel station in reality. Had a bit different setup for the windshield (which looks better in my opinion) on it. Dallara is a great company doing everything fast from F1 Parts to the chassis for Bugatti Chiron. - I was always wondering why they never did something themselves - so it was great to see this car around since last year.

I would have said a lot of clutch slip lol cheers bro for your time.

[mosca]

Love to see and hear more about chassis construction and suspension - from the phots I’ve seen it’s exquisite 👍🏻

[thgearouttahere]

Brilliant, I love this car so much. Hugely underappreciated and very special. 👍🏁
Could you talk about the difference in the steering feel and behaviour at different slip angles compared to a car without so much aero?

[MrE]

Robert its great to see you exploring/test driving different cars. Questions are can you do a full standard spec run down and also optional extras list with pricing if possible and how you would spec it.

[gafrers]

Bentornato in Italia.
Loving the content and anything you can share about your experience and any technical infos are welcomed as well

Greetings from a Croatian in Austria... You, Misha, Shmee, Apex... just, AMAZING work guys!!! I've just seen Shmee's Senna speechlessly exciting Ring lap and his excitement and giggles inspired me for a 3blitz question... With all the right ingredients what would Senna's Ring lap time be?

[Pyotr_Velikiy]

The Stradale is a perfect "Robert car". Downforce, a high power-to-weight ratio and track focused. The engine may sound uninspiring but there is so much technology in this car. Try a Radical RXC GT or a Radical Rapture! The factory demonstrator of the Rapture is currently for sale, it would make a great addition to the barn.

[pierrena]

Nice one! Drove the track in Maserati fleet cars back in 2017. It’s easy to learn and lots of fun as demonstrated by Robert ;-)

I'm looking forward to the upcoming video on the company
