I've seen that before, and it's still great to see every time.

I watched in Top Gear that in F1, you have to maintain a high enough speed for the downforce entering a corner. If not you'll lose traction and spin out.

Here is another one with a V8 supercar


there is also one out there with David Coulthard driving a Mercedes vs a B class and a SLS same ideea. Could not find a good quality of it.

Man that is fast!!! To be fair that is one of the fastest turns in F1 (Eau Rouge at Spa).

Bad quality but nice

It's also one of the fastest turns in F1...

I have a new appreciation for the sheer speed of F1 cars. It doesn't look that fast on t.v. I really have to go the next Montreal Grand Prix. Can't believe I've never been. It's only 2 hours down the highway for me.

And this is why Formula 1 is my favorite sport to watch. Making sure I make it to Austin next year.

What do these 2 guys do? I have watched a couple times and can't figure it out.

They are family members on the pay roll......

Looks like the far left one is a back-up jack, and the arrowed right one could be a fire putter outer(but not sure).
