Ummm...it wasn't a "Track".......it was a road.....with clifts and guard rails:happy45:

No run off areas or sand pits. You go flying off the edge and die if you mess up.

Exactly, so in the couple of spots where he pinched the corner exit and had to do some massive corrections to keep the car from spinning, he would have been protecting his life a little better if he'd simply opened the wheel up a little.

There were a couple of other spots where he simply slowed way down because he was trying to straighten out in the middle of the road rather than taking it all the way out to the edge. I can understand the self preservation mechanism when he was riding the cliffs edge, but he did it a couple of times on tight right handers where there was a grass field to the left side on turn out.

Don't get me wrong, there's some top-notch grade A driving in that video. And no one does 100% at every point on ANY run, not even F1 guys.

Who wants to bet the navigator shat his pants the first time he climbed into a car with a driver for a race like this?

I would be puking all over the place! I can sometimes make myself a little queezy when driving in the mountains.

I know - Wuss!
