Default Art of the overtake at the VLN

One for your Sunday morning viewing; The art of firm but fair overtaking at the VLN.

Note how cool and collected the driver appears, considering how close these cars get at times at the speeds involved.

His overtaking leaves no doubt to the other party of his intention; it's forceful but very fair.

Sit back with a morning cuppa and enjoy watching this professional at his day job.

Sadly Sean Edwards passed away recently. An amazing young talent and sounds like a real top bloke. He was really going places too.

He would have won this years Porsche Cup but he died 2 races before the end.

Very talented driver and one of the good guys too. He'll be sadly missed in paddocks all round the world.

Blimey... I only realised the above after looking at the comments below the video on Youtube and then looking into it to find this news release..

Such a shame, a real talent, and in general to lose your life at such a young age..

That was like watching a video game with the slow car catch up enabled.

Was he in the same class car as the rest of the field?

Very clean stuff indeed. What was that green thing he caught up to at the Wippermann on his first lap?
