He's driving a "Fiesta" in this one, pointless, but impressive.

New tyres please !

That is the coolest video i've seen in a long time...

Awesome!!

Wow - even a driveshaft cam - car geek porn.

See everyone must know 4WD is the best drivetrain evaaaar after that.

2nd bend and he crashes... then afew later he hits a cone. On every shot theres skid marks showing hes tried once already, inc an obvious big mistake at 4:08 where he clearly wiped the tyres out!

As always, its fast, scripted, heavily edited and not precise enough for true autocross/autotest.
Always a good watch though.

And if they were to design a rally stage like that he might actually do better

Let's be honest...it's not really a Fiesta is it - 650bhp, 0-60 in 1.2s...

Looks impressive, but I'd like to see how his time for the circuit would compare to someone like Sebastien Loeb.

I saw the hit on the 2nd bend but i didn't notice anything else..

realistically though-nobody gets that good without making mistakes now and then.


eddie99 - 15/9/10 at 11:18 AM

And atleast now we know its pretty much real and hasn't been done a million times....

People complained before that it was all too well rehearsed. Then they complain that he makes mistakes.

Come on, he's not God, he's a shoe salesman!


nick205 - 15/9/10 at 12:26 PM

He's also, however you look at it, very very talented behind the wheel.

I've been a passenger a couple of times with professional drivers and besides being very entertaining it really only served to remind me that I am not a driving god - not yet anyway


whitestu - 15/9/10 at 12:50 PM

I could have done that much better than he did - well, that bit where he hit the wall anyway.

Drives like me when i go for a paper

I bet Tiff would give him a run for his money


gottabedone - 15/9/10 at 03:51 PM

even if it's scripted/reheased etc etc.........you'll still watch it many times.....but a fair comment about putting him against other skilled drivers. I'm not sure about Tiff though - he's skilled and good at hooning but is he this precise enough?

Here's a thought....

What about a motorsport triathlon event?

Take a selection of the top F1, WRC and MotoGP drivers/riders and run a multi-discipline event of all 3 forms of motorsport.

Needel? I assume your talking about giving him a run for how many times he crashes?!
