That is understeering so badly it's untrue. Does he have major toe out on both wheels?
Seems to me that the car is set up so badly it's handling like a dogs dinner, hence the need for him to work away at the wheel like Stefan Roser.
Terrible behaviour on a public road.

He's really not going all that fast. At least through the first half, where I stopped watching.
And all that screeching seems to be from the horrendous amount of understeer he's experiencing.
Those front tires are either way underinflated, or way overinflated to induce that much understeer.
I can't see why he couldn't remain in his lane. Not just his side of the double-yellow, but his lane.
Looks like it may have been done for effect. So he could hoodwink his clueless friends into thinking
he was really honking, when he was just tooling along.

This driver needs locking up for good.

I would be furious to arrive at a BLIND bend to find some dicksweat on my side of the road. ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS. He better hope we never meet cos I certainly do.
The M5 and Audi RS vieo is even worse. It had me reaching for my imaginary brake pedal sat at my desk.

Not really, at least not during the part I watched before turning it off in disgust.
It really looks like it's all done for effect.
Absolutely!! I'm sure we've all done some foolish stuff on the street at one time or another, but that guy is a murder/suicide on wheels!

I drove there for three years. I had a 951 for 1.5 of them. Crazy drivers, not in a good way though. If you're not dodging paid-by-the-load gravel trucks, you're getting cut off by late buses or insane cab drivers.
I never want to go back there.
The road looks kind of familiar though. I think I may have flown over that area and thought that it looked like a fun drive.
