That was awesome! If I could drive 1/4 as good as him I'd be a happy man.

All it takes is a little seat time and quick hands! He is a very good driver!

Awsome ride!
The skill and ***** it would take to do that for real is un-believable!!
To be able and willing to drive like that is amazing.

I have driven about a thousand laps at the Nurb (on PS2 Gran Turismo simulator) so I am very familiar with the track and appreciate the amount of concentration it takes to complete a good lap. Very diffulcut to get it right even when you have a restart button, and unlimited tries.

This is a repeat thread. He is a great driver, but not as smooth as Jim Mero's run at the ring, imho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6mEirkQN8o
But Jan is very exciting to watch & daring, as seen by his recent race/crash vs. Burgmeister...

Great Vid... but it looks like he's driving 8/10th... the passenger isn't even wearing a helmet.

Don't know what the passenger is saying at the end, but I'd say he's probably saying "I think I just crapped myself!"


Wow- heck of a run!
