It isn't lost on me, the fact he does this with no helmet, safety harness, no fireproof driver's suit or shoes. No HANS Device , for it has not yet been invented.
Smokin' the hills. Drifting nearly every apex. Amazing skill with prodigous power trying to upset his day at nearly every turn. Pure art...... |

This is my favorite driving video, probably because it's a 914 with an insanely good driver. It's old and you've probably see it before but who cares watch it again!

What's amazing is to see how he can brake much later and drive just about any line around the track to get around the other cars. Just seems to be playing with them until he decides to get in front. |

There's another of him driving the same care at Lime Rock that is one of my favorites. There's also one of him doing a 56 sec lap at Lime Rock in a 914/4 Cool stuff. Scott |
