nutter! no run off or anything. thats a lot of back end action! oh er misses!

 

He's got nothing on Burnie.

 

 

Richard Meaden is a bit of a knob driving like that on public roads. Any one coming the other way would have had it!
Good control though!
But doesn't the 599 have very trick traction control

 

it's stupid.. farm tractors.. cyclists.. at least go somewhere really quiet or a time of day when nobody was out..

there was one of these EVO chaps at the ring during the weekend.. could have been him, doing the highly original idea of getting a specific road car around the ring in a target time..

 

Shame the guy in the 599 can't drive worth a toss...

 

I suspect that's what the beeping is at the beginning - him thinking he's Schumi and sticking the Menettino (sp) onto RACE, thus switching off the T/C.

What a cock, he just uses the throttle like an on/off switch and thinks that cornering late on full lock makes him a god. If he were to try that in anything less than a modern Ferrari he would be dead, or out of a job due to being uninsurable.

 

Didn't look too smooth, jabbing the throttle and a panic of opposite lock, needs to learn how to be more progressive.

 

i think that where the 550 was in the road indicated if it was safe for the 599 to use the full width of the road.

As for driving style was he not just having fun... looked like fun to me !
