Any driver with mild skill could do that IMO. Nothing but counter steering. If you wanna see some skill. Look at the real rally drivers on dirt roads. Those guys have crazy skill.

To me "fairly well" equals "a driver with mild skill"? I would say the driver probably is of higher skill than just average though. He is carrying quite a bit of speed through the corner with a concrete wall on the exit. Not to mention $100,000+ dollars riding on a screw up. As far as rally drivers go I agree with you very much. They have to be very talented to drive those cars at those speeds in those conditions. Put them in a different car such as an F1(done a couple of years ago) car and they will likely be very slow compared to an F1 regular and vise versa an F1 driver is likely to be very slow in a WRC car. I guess I feel that at the top level of any motorsport the drivers are very skilled not just rally drivers. I give all the top guys credit for what they do.
