I saw that a couple weeks ago on another forum. I think the videos been sped up and then slowed down for the corners. watch the guys hands, theres a couple straightaways were he jerks the wheel to the right and left really fast. If hes actually going as fast as hes going hed totally lose control.

If I drove that car, that fast, I would have a mess in my shorts. I'm just not sure if the mess would be in the front or the back. Damn.

Mirrors are not only for parking.Plus those mirrors probably don't show a side view of the car.I am guessing they are there so the driver can see when someone is on his rear end.

Dont look sped up to me.
If it seems too fast,then that is why everybody isnt a pro racecar driver....
Those guys are GODS in the realm of reaction and instincts.

And yes,Bad 83....Laguna Seca is wild!
I hit the Superbike races every year.Its no wonder half the guys, on some of the world's fastest bikes, are 15-22 years old! Freakin' hate em!!I rode the track on my FZR1000 just going 30MPH, and it was a thrill.I cant imagine going 175MPH up the back straight,then braking to go down the corkscrew in first....Id definately sh*t myself!
