A credit to Gigi's ability that he controlled the slide so well!

I guess there's a shed full of smashed up cars that didn't make it whilst he was honing his skills, Unfortunately I don't think Direct Line would look very kindly on any of us if we tried it on that scale!

It was either going to be a big off or look very very spectacular. Notice the point he comes of the brakes, turned out nice as they say

Another favourite of mine is from the WRC a couple of years back when Giles Pannizi (sp) does a 720 degree doughnut on a wide hairpin whilst leading the stage. Not only that; he does it one-handed and waves nonchalantly to the crowd out of the window at the same time.
