Lee - I can drive like that. In fact I did last Thursday round the South West circuit as an extra driver in my mate's car, although not quite as well as that, and with not so much commitment.....

I wasn't sure about the CSR bit as there isn't the tubular dash etc, but just copied it straight from the website................... wait, it says SLR!

I'll have one of your finest of these please:

Actually having watched it again he gets if very sideways very early into the final corner. I've never done that to be fair so I think saying its VERY easy is being unfair. Man can pedal!!!

But the other corners are easy. The top corner you can stay sideways whilst grabbing fourth! its coooolio
