Mother of god. Slays 911's, I said out loud "Cayman?" seconds before seeing the ferrari disappear. Skillz. Lots of steering wheel work to dirt track through some of those corners, and terrifying on the long banked "straights".

Those modern cars must be so boring to drive, left foot brake, pull a paddle and it shifts, ABS this Stability control that, whats the point when this thing goes flying by?

Car's got some brakes to go with that motor. And it's obviously one heck of a motor.

The gearing is perfect- he's using all 4 of those gears.  Amazing dig out of the two "hairpins" and then the top speed is amazing.
