Mr. Lifty-Shifty Flat Spot needs to learn about keeping his foot on the throttle, especially in a rear engined car...

Agree. Amazing a club would allow someone to put everyone else at risk like that.

I remember that soundtrack well - from back in my younger days when I was getting hooked on cars.
They did have cars back then.
Re the video - staged, correct? I hate this fake Youtube crap (but watched anyway to see what the excitement was all about).

What is this? Instructors gone wild?

Oh, and why is it that VR is usually the one bringing us such instructionally useful videos?

try the youtube link for "more from 171 mph". Some of his other vids will give you a better idea of this driver,s capabilities. His 1:43 at Laguna Seca is not slow for a Cayman, same for his Thill times
