Wow! You guys really suck at making consistant corner entries compared to the pros, and you have almost double the amount of time to get it right! Shame.

j/k Excellent display of speed differentials. I think I would need a cathader cause I'd be peeing my pants the whole time in the F1 cars!

Good call, amazing - you can watch a car in the second video get to the first apex at which point an F1 car will enter the frame in the first video and get to the 2nd apex around the same time...

Stand 5 feet from them for three days. The drive home on the 401 is very quiet as you can't hear anything...

I can't get over the fact that from just before the start/finish and all the way up and past Eau Rouge, those cars are at full throttle - no lift through the bends. It's astonishing.

I ****e myself on the back straight at Mosport in a 20 year 911. I can't even compute what it's like in an F1 car.
