Yes - nice moves, he came close to the loose stuff I wonder which group he would fit into at the Supermeet The skid plane looked fun - good thing they remembered to put the roof up.

The summary section at the end (4:20) seemed to indicate that the S was slowest - what does Handlingkurs mean (handling Index ?) - any german speakers to translate ?

The modem on my desktop is FUBAR (lightning hit), I'll translate when I get a new modem next week.

Handlingkurs = Handling Course according to the translator

Great video, enjoyed that
Audi TT at no. 5, Opel Speedster (Vauxhall VX220) at no. 9, with the S2000 at no. 13! looks like the course was too small and twisty for the S2000's extra grunt to come into play.

The water test looked like fun

What a great video, that guy can drive. Not too aggressively, but he certainly takes it by the scruff of the neck!
The difference in the times is small, the Evo VII is not much quicker so I wouldn't read to much in to it, plus the track is tight and doesn't have much run off area. The limits are harder to find on the S, so it's better to go at 8/10th's and keep the car on the track.

Good work Chris
