Probably need to put some perspective into it before going bonkers on the whole HANS device commentary guys... The guy is clearly experienced, he is not in a race and therefore other than the possibility of a tyre failure or similar, chances of a crash are very low to zero... He's likely not out to kill the girlfriend.

Yes her head is moving around quite a bit, no doubt and that may be because her neck muscles aren't used to the high speeds/forces. Guys who kart don't wear HANS devices and the forces I've experienced there are far higher...

I'm sure we've all done a hot lap or two in a cup car and bobbled around and survived... It's controlled and an experience so let's focus less on being safety and PC police and enjoy the vid or move on to the next thread...

Oscar (Palm - the driver) is a good guy, very friendly and approachable. Don't know if they're still together, though

Well, she did try to kiss him once they stopped

She also says "I want to go more" when they're pulling into the pits.

It is so much harder for a passenger than driver to remain stable in a cup car. Since this was probably her first time in that situation, I think she did quite well. Moreover, she must have enjoyed the ride, since she requested another.
