His throttle technique rocks. Many drivers use the rev limited in certain situations vs. constantly watching at tach etc., especially on major twisties like that. Compared to the 7 minutes in the run, he only hits the limiter a few times.
I honestly have no room to critique that guy. |

Compared to the 7 minutes in the run, he only hits the limiter a few times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) no time to watch the tach on a drive like that. you don't want to take your eyes off the road, even for a split second. you drive "by ear" (and shiftlight, if you have one) and hitting the rev limiter is not at all uncommon. in fact, in certain situations, it's *faster* to just keep the rpm up at the limit and maybe bounce on the rev limiter than upshifting. shifting costs time, and if you're close to a slower part, upshifting and then downshifting again will cost you more time than to just "ride it out" ...
