dizziness and headaches in fast cars

[CasioPasio]

Just curious to know if anyone here experiences any dizziness or headaches in their car?

I was in a mates 458 over the weekend and yes we were driving quick, but I felt dizzy most of the time. Had to get fresh air every 10 minutes.

This just me or is this common in quick accelerating cars?

Be nice :-)

OP, think it’s only a small minority - not a common thing at all.

OP: have you particularly low blood pressure?

Sounds to me like motion sickness which is pretty common.

As above. If you intend to take fast passenger rides in future, you may want to speak with your GP about having some prochlorperazine prescribed.

Are you subconsciously clenching your teeth? I remember doing it in the first Lambo I had and had to consciously tell myself to relax. Think it was because I had a stack load of it on finance and was worried about pranging it!

Are you symptoms accompanied with skid marks?

any petrol fumes ?

This thread turned out a lot different than I imagined

I think ZadKiel is right, probably was motion sickness.

My mate should've been the one worried, £60K down and the rest financed.

Strangely, tonking on in a car on a good road/circuit is guaranteed to ensure I'm absolutely calm and 100% relaxed.
