I bet I can do just as good as him, I bet you can too, after 3 hours of practice...

No really people, where is all this mad skill you are talking about in that video? :roll:

Whatever, I wont argue further...he is a GOD are you happy? W.Rohl looks like a horny school kid next to him.


Hey RC are you around? Can you please take the Vette on some low speed twisties give it some throttle, catch it and then make a video of it? Thanks.


Why cant you understand that at 60kph that car is like a Go-Kart? Getting the tail out at 60 or 80kph is nothing but good driving skills.

Now if he was driving a high speed road corse and doing some drifts at 160 then yeah, that takes skills, but the fact remains that he is doing that at low speeds, with mad mechanical grip and tons of power at the rear wheels.

Well, what he did in that vid can't be that easy, no masterpiece but still skilled driving.

And more, about his driving abbilities. I've seen enough motorvision's to say, he's a VERY good driver.

I hear you mate, its not easy, but if you read the posts in this thread you get an impression that people think this guy is a God because of what he does in this video.

I'm sure he is a great driver, but the driving that he does in this particular video is nothing spectacular as some make it out to be.


I just hate when people get the impression that sideways=Jacky Ickx, M. Schumaher, W.Rohl...

i agree with everybody else.

not every joe-jack can do what this guy did in the video.

the thing with good natural drivers is that they make it seem easy.


when in fact it isn't.
