Damn that was fast. Taking those corners at 120mph was nuts.

That's awesome, but it would be awesome in any car!  My son watched it with me and said..."I want one of those race cars for my birthday."
Oooops, a little miss shift there.
I guess there's a little WRC influence with the way the cuts across some of those corners.

The thing I found interesting was the lack of left foot braking - at least that's what the throttle and brake indicators were showing. It was one or the other but never both at the same time. I'm sure as a Rally driver he's quite capable of dancing all over those pedals, I just found it curious that he didn't use it at all.

That, and the throttle was mostly an on/off switch.

When is the accelerator in our cars NOT an on/off switch  Cool  With AWD and ABS, you're leaving time out there if you aren't giving the go/whoa pedals a stompin'.

Yeah, you're pretty much right. It's nearly impossible to break all four loose. It can be done, but that just means you didn't buy the right tires for the job.
