ok and a question no one asked. Who is driving behind him and why are they so close???? Did u notice at some stage during breaking the camera comes a bit too close! And the car behind doing the taping doesnt actually ever lose it? so in the big 90 deg turn when the 911 fishtails, the car behind never has the nose pointing somewhere else?
That was a very cool video thanks for posting...

I tried many time to use the heel on the gas technique and my ankles just don't like it.
Regardless of which technique feels better to your feet, as long as you can brake hard and rev match at the same time, it's all good.

Another good one. The floor board looks like it's wrapped in plastic? It may be the same upholsterer that my grandmother used.

And when you get it right, it feels so much better than pulling (or pushing I believe) on a paddle.....
