Ok then, maybe im wrong


The video i saw of it though, he spun literally every 10seconds or lost control of the car and he didnt have one arm out the window then. Maybe he was just having a bad day.

I've been in the enviable position of having a proper ride in this car, and all I can say is that the car is the pinnacle in terms of spec and preparation, and that the drivers skill is just as impressive as the car itself. Hence why when combined the end result is truly awesome.

He can really pedal a car!
