Amazed he made it around. It appeared that his technicque for going around corners was coasting with no power. Pretty scary

Gave up watching after Adenauer Forst - I nearly tried that line on my first ever lap of the ring :-)

Like the shaky cam - that adds some fear to an already scary lap :-)

So basically the technique is to go into the corner as close to the inside line as possible and then ram the steering wheel in the direction of the corner. :shock:

With you on Adenauer Forst. In our defence, we were on Pirelli P-Zeros in the p!ssing rain ;-)

With a bit more smoothness he could be quite good.
