    He must have been the most alert person on the planet during those 10mins.
    7'45" wow going over that rise, good grief.
    Flashing headlights - get out of my way - proper driver coming through.

    Some pretty big balls on the guy, especially taking that much kerb in the wet.

    Personally I would love to see JJ Lehto's drive in the wet at Le Mans in the McLaren F1 - that was meant to be somehting else!

    My next door neighbour went & took his bike (race prepped R1). He got knocked off on a bend by some idiot who overcooked it in his BMW 3 series, and mangled his leg. The Beemer driver stopped, wound down his window, asked "are you ok?" and then sped off, never to be seen again. Neighbour got airlifted to hospital and spent months on crutches....

    That is nuts. Fair play though.

    What made me chuckle was the little map stuck to the steering wheel, was that in case he got lost!

    Exactlly - no matter how good one is behind the wheel or how fast ones car is , there's always the other chap ! Hope your neighbour had a speedy recovery .

    Bloody hell, that is some impressive driving........... a mixture of skill, knowing the track, infra red night vision for eyesight and probably the biggest dollop of insaniac pills ever!!

    Looking at the steering wheel inputs at times he is ringing every last ounce out of the car (and himself) and bullocks to whether it is raining or not!

    Impressive but also quite scary

    I remember that - he was consistently lapping at something like 30 seconds a lap faster than anybody else on the track, and it felt as if he did it for the whole night.

    I've driven it in the wet.

    Ended up going backwards after a spin and a half.

    The main thing that held me in was my arse gripping the seat.

    Good lord, that looks insanely frightening.

    He was knockin' em off in fine fashion. Everyone out there except him should call it the Wet Black Hell.
