If the wet video embedded above (facebook link doesnt work) is the one you are talking about, then I am not sure how people think that was luck. That was experienced driving, keeping his head about him and skill. He may have had a race suit full of something after, but he certainly kept his wits about him.

Sorry, not sure why the original link isn't working. It seems to but not for some but not others yes, it is the same as Shiskine's.

I think the initial reaction is so knee jerk that he is lucky he didn't drive strainght into the armco. After the intiial reaction then pure skill and surprised he managed to get back onto the tarmac.

Wow. His anticipation was off the chart. You've got to give that guy massive respect for those reactions and car control once he took to the grass

Your link worked for me originally, but hasn't since. I don't think Facewipe is as reliable a host for clips as YouTube. Usually anything you find on one can be found on the other ...

I did try Googling "Wet spa" but the videos that came up didn't appear to involve clothes or motor racing

Well held, that man!

Years of practice & mistakes mean it is implanted in his autonomous brain and he reacts to every part of it almost without needing to think.

That's why he's good and we are shit.
