I was watching the British Rally Championship and drivers kept being warned about "mirages". I know what the word means in general language, but in pacenotes? Is it a deceptive curve perhaps? On some stretches though the warning was nearly constant... Thanks:)

Reply #4 - 03/16/5 at 08:13:09 yes, well, I learned from my googling it's a type of car, but if that's what they meant... then abandoned Mitsubishis must be the most common driving hazard littering the quaint British countryside

nah, they were driving a Ford Focus. No Evos in fact that I've seen in that championship at all... ridiculous number of Imprezas though in the open category - and all kinds of funky European vehicles in the Super 1600s :>

... that's a funny idea though...

Reply #7 - 03/23/5 at 07:57:35 It could be that the road looks like it's going left, but in fact the call is to go right. So calling R5, Mirage, is just that particular drivers way of saying ignore what you are seeing and follow the notes.

Re. calling an F150...at Perce Neige we came around a corner and there in front of us appeared to be a F150 rolled and wrecked on top of the snowbank with two guys in lawn chairs facing us enjoying the sun and some libations and cheering us on. It may have been a mirage it was so weird. Ummm...are you seeing what I'm seeing I said to my co-driver?

We are not all wacky... Well, most of us aren't... I spoke with my uncle in England about what a "Mirage" is, as he is a driver, and has never heard of it. So really no help at all, sorry. James
