I can barely tell what's going on, let alone be able to drive that! Nice find!

Sick driving. 1 lane road, man has the reaction time of spider man and balls of steel.

I can't even think that fast. I love the British hand shakes to celebrate.

man, that's pretty crazy. Hell of a run. But to be fair, most of that driving isn't 'reaction'. At a hill climb you're given multiple runs, the 1st couple for recon / getting a feel for the road, and to memorize the track. You do need crazy fast reactions to react to what the car's doing of course, but the track itself I can guarantee was done from memory, not reaction. Regardless, that was a nice drive

Saw a sticker that said "men with golf balls golf, men with real balls race"

Another said " baseball, football, and basketball only require one ball, racing requires two!"

For hill climbs I still love anything with a Judd v8.

If you look after he goes through that chicane underneath those road signs you can see where it says what I'm pretty sure is "209 KMH." If that's a little speed trap radargun/electric sign set-up that means some where through that chicane section he was doing close to 130 mph. I could be wrong but if not
Also for Nick. It's not the same Mercedes 190-e, but a BMW 320...it's in-car footage though.

Cool videos! I have the Judd V8 190E saved as a favorite on my YouTube account. Love it!
I like this one a lot too, the acceleration is brutal!
