I believe that is David Murray. He has always downshifted like that. Seems to work for him.

I cannot believe that is David.

IIRC, this video has been out for a while. It was David, and again IIRC it was the first time the car had been wrong out & his first session ever in the car. Seems they may have had some pedal-placement issues?

David did mention to me that they had to make significant adjustments to the height of the accelerator pedal and the orientation between them, so I suppose if it was the first test session, then Ok.

PS good to see you back.

Thank you, Geoffrey!

Again, my recollection about this video may be flawed, but I distinctly remember when it came out early last year, and that David was dealing with big time teething issues.

lovely! It seems these P1/2 drivers come straight out of demolition derby training.

My buddy Tim owns the Black Swan car. He ran an RSR last year in ALMS before switching to Ford.
