Yeah badda but you don't have to be special to be better than 99% of this forum (being general again ). On those conditions you just have to NOT crash Seriously though driving isn't always about going as fast as possible and his style over those roads was 'fun' driving IMHO rather than outright speed. Even still he handled the car pretty well considering how easily it can bite you in such conditions!

Lot of jelousy in this thread - we don't even know what country it is!! For all you know it could be a one-way pass!! He handles the S2000 in difficult conditions far better than 99% of the owners on this forum could.


good call

I'm so jealous

wish I could drive as well as him

Have you

"Good driving"? Are you having a laugh? He just has a heavy right foot on hairpins and gets it out of shape, then slows and oppo locks to sort it. Almost stops at one point.
No talent involved at all.
As for doing that kind of crap on public roads....Weapons Grade Cock End.

You've experienced driving with 99% of the forum to be able to substantiate that then Kenny?

Of course not Stop being picky - seriously though this is a common position for a forum to take when someone posts a video of fast driving. First they take the morale high ground about how dangerous it is and then pick appart every element of the persons driving usually quoting some technobabble about car dynamics. The bottom line however is that few of the keyboard heros could get out there and do a better job. I'm not saying the guys driving was perfect or even particularly fast but he ushered a snappy and difficult car accross a partially snowcovered twisty and undulating road at reasonable pace. Judging by CC's list most of us British S2000 owners bin it the instant we try and accelerate away from a medium sized roundabout
