I'll bet he had trouble getting his balls out of that afterwards

 

There's part-throttle or there's wheelspin.

He's got good reactions; now I know I cannot drive.

 

Indeed.

Madgwick is a scary enough corner at full tilt, nevermind on opposite lock in the rain.

Now that is some serious driving.

 

God like

Had to share it on facebook, that is insane.

 

It'd be great to see Newey's lap (whom is I guess is a reasonably competent amateur) in the same car by way of comparison (if I read the comments right and they both drove it).

 

Adrian Newey is a very good driver.

 

Yes, I should have said "at the very least a reasonably competent amateur". A bit more research has revealed the two of them won the race. http://www.goodwood.co.uk/revival/ne...ghty-gt40.aspx

Race lap times about 22 seconds faster http://www.tsl-timing.com/?loc=club&...&tabletype=gif

 

I think that footage is from practice / qualifying not the race.but still big balls!
