Understeer / Oversteer at corner entry, corrner exit and every point in between.
Probably not the quickest way, but when the other guy has a 911 that's going to annihilate you on the long straight, he's more than
forgiven for overdriving the twisty bits to make sure he's as far ahead as possible going onto the straights.

Love the bit in the middle.
First he blows off the Porker for the second time, then he's that laid back about it, that he has a little go at drifting.
interesting, thats not quite how i see it. as i see it, he's all over the place, the porsche is a lot more planted, and in fact the porsche
takes it easy round the corners, and blows him away on straight line speed on the streets.
with all the under and over steer, i don't see the porsche losing it once. would be good to see an onboard shot from the other car though
as for 'having a go at drifting' i don't actually think he meant to do it personally. especially when you look at 4.04, looks to
have taken him by surprise a little. i don't know, you may be right, but thats my thoughts anyway
blake82 - I agree - the porsche was a lot more secure and I know which car would have reduced my dry-cleaning costs.
The GD was a much more refined drive - it seemed far less at 10/10ths than the caterham drive. Without knowing the man, I can't speculate why
but the GD470 seemed way more planted (heavier for sure - maybe that's why, but the GD cars are respected for excellent engineering).
There was a bit at about 6:30 where the car proved it gets out of shape climbing the curbs - quite a slide he controlled.
And near the end I liked the way he overhauled a yellow porsche at 186+ mph.

Watched now. Great vid.
He was certainly pushing on. We all know how lively and quick round the twisty stuff the r500 is after watching Stiggy thrash it around on Top
Gear.
Yup - and there was a bit right at the end when he eclipsed a yellow porsche with the needle on the stop - probably nearer 200 by then.
I would say watching both, that he had adapted his style to ring the guts out of that caterham, and achieved a great time in the GD. saying that, 7:32
around the ring is a stunning time. now matter how you drive, you obviously can to get a time like that.
