Yes, very cool. Great post  :y

Nice if that is one of the camera angles available for next year, great view at the start.

I'm not sure they'd want a full field driving with only one eye... They crash into each other enough as it is! ;D

Agree and in my experience once you get above 120mph everything starts to happen a bit quick, so at 160-200mph fractions of a second, especially when car in front is braking for a corner as you have to anticipate his braking point, which maybe earlier than yours, if your car is better and can handle a higher corner speed.  ::) :o :D

Watching how they drive in Monaco, inches away from the Armco barriers, at up to 200mph, on the limit, makes you appreciate their skill and the big sphericals they have between their legs. Try driving fast down a narrow road with high banks either side and I'm sure you will appreciate it.  :y :y :y

The thing that struck me about seeing and hearing that is how fantastic the engine and transmission worked. Wailing like a banshee on the gas and then silence, apart from a little crackle on the overrun. :-*
