To be fair he probably was trying to get the back end out as the video actually just looked more dramatic than it really was.

However trying to drive on snow / ice on a normal road in the uk IMO is hard enough anyway without doing those speeds on a friggin cliff! Even though he may be purposely trying to get the back end out etc etc, I think he is a nutter because if it goes wrong even though having fun they are f**ked!

Best out of three of them then?

Looks scrappy and I can only assume he is indeed larking about because he certainly isn't driving fast. Seen much, much better driving from the passenger seat of various S2000s.

My car is parked away at the sight of snow

By far the greatest crime is the soundtrack though!

Tight bends and hairpins...

THIS is how should be done. A talented driver(Dicky Meaden), in a great car on a great road having fun and not driving like a mad man.

Errrr.....


[QUOTE=ge2,Dec 5 2006, 10:00 PM] He's just booting it out of slow corners, losing traction and wiggling the steering wheel about too much.

go on then.....

all I'll say is that I can drive cars fast without losing control every time I reach a corner

irrespective of driver aids

it's not a boast - I dont equate personal success and self-esteem with my driving ability

I'm just not impressed by people that have to fight with the car to keep it on the road

I know some people are

like some people loved Alesi

now what did he ever win?
