Is it just me, or does the audio seem awfully clear for people wearing full-face helmets while driving on the track?

I thought the audio was awfully clear as well but with the high-quality cameras out today, it's probably real. I am however surprised that an "instructor" is wearing full-faced helmet for the first time, ya know? I'm probably missing something though...
The guy Dan is a serious D-Bag. It would be nice to get a post from him w some explanation.

Com'mon, that cant be real!!!!! it was too smooth to be fake, and wasnt really funny. I mean if it was like Jerky boys, you would have heard the guy go over the top, but he didnt. Then, just wanted to get out? very strange.
If this is real, this guy should be banished from the sport entirely. I can only imagine his temperment in a DE, TT or Race.
David Ray puts on some great events. in fact, Im helping with a racing clinic later this month that he and I are instructing in. I cant imagine this being real.

I would LOVE to take that guy for a ride. Now, that would be a FUNNY video. pose as a newbee and just go off on the track from lap 1. I wonder if dave will let me come out there with my new rig (not a race car yet) and take him for a few hot laps.

granted I'm no expert at Thunderhill, but I have been around there a few times...with Ken no less...& I think this guy is doing an excellent job for his 1st DE day EVER....sure there are some less than perfect spots...but for a guy that has at most a grand total of 4 run sessions in his life he is doing VERY good... I do not know the instructor...but I sure don't want him riding with me NOW!!!

Just watch. I'm not even going to comment for the moment. Note the event organizer comments and accepts responsibility.

If I was as bad as he though I must be going slow enough already, right?
It does. The video is believable and unbelievable at the same time.
Something I've wanted to do for a while.

Coach Dan: "whats with all the bad shifts back there?".
Driver: "I cant hear you",
Dan: "whats with all the jerky shifts back there?".
Driver: "oh, i thougth they were pretty smooth".
Dan: "you are not supposed to apex this turn".
Driver: "Oh, sorry"
Dan: "didnt you learn the line?"
Driver: "I thougth I was driving the line"
Dan: " no, you are not".
Dan: " let me out"
