The Yellowbird footage is awesome. What a handful the older chassis cars were. Took a set to get the most out of those cars. The newer cars look so much more composed. Interesting too how light the car gets going over crests etc. He gets on the brakes hard or is at edge of adhesion in a super fast sweeper and you can hear the tires chirping quite a bit. Fun stuff.

A yellow GT2 wing would help eliminate that tail wagging!
