Really? Sounded like he was your instructor to me given that he was telling you what line to take.

Really? Then you should know the right gears and shift points, or have a pretty darn good guess, unlike your excuse above.

So you can't really take full credit for correcting all your slides....it was partly due to that wonderful AWD and DTSC software.

Wear it anyway. You're on a friggin racetrack, testing the limits.

Really? YOUR words, from 4:16-4:45 in the video:

You just owned yourself.

You just owned yourself again.
And my last point, as a hand-position nazi.....your hands weren't even in the same wrong places each time around the track. You were randomly picking places to hold the wheel. ANY experienced driver knows that you use the same habits whether screwing around or actually racing. 9-3 is the correct hand position for drifting, driving at 10/10ths, driving at 2/10ths, and going to the grocery store.
