Default Very Impressive Driving

found this on youtube - some of you might have come across it already but good driving skills (although sometimes wreckless through traffic)

A well mapped car with 365bhp is a pretty fearsome track weapon especially if it is well shod and damped too.

The guy prob knows the track inside out and pushes his fear aside more than others

Yep, p!ss poor technique, hands too high, and all over the wheel, one hand at 12 o'clock, shuffling hands on the wheel, if he gets in a mess one day he will have to let go of the wheel to correct.

His speed is ok, but comes more from knowing the track than skill.

Exciting video to watch.Must be annoying when you get stupid little town cars poodling about on the racing line.
The dump valve noise gets a bit tedious in the vid imo.

As said, he is quick but seems a bit erratic.

this one is from a while ago as well but it is some amazing skill and some massive plumbs even if he is a pro driver

Well I went round the ring last night in my wagon (the closest I could find to it) and then a WRC Blobe eye, was having loads of fun with no cost. GT5 on teh playstation is the way to go, no cost no pain and very realistic. Certainly don't fancy the Nurburg ring for real, too many opportunities to destroy your car.

Don't you need any talent/common sense to drive around the Ring?
