sorry for hurting you feelings, you keep on admiring people that put innocent folks at risk, bravo
I'm seriously tired of this chat. If you did read my posts, and care to understand, you'll see I do not admire, practice or promote this kind of driving. Then again, I only speak english as a second language, and if I misundertood your post and you were only talking about the 2 brazilians in the car, ok. But a guy that does speak it as a native language (Carrara) understood it like I did.

Still, never mind my feelings. They do not get hurt over the internets. If it wasn't such a nice way to practice my english writing a bit, I guess I wouldn't even have cared to answer.

Thing is, I'm here for the cars, not much for the opinions. Just caried on this subject for the "fun" of dusting my wrtiting...

Again, not trying to be rude or anything...

The thing is... it looks way more dangerous than it really is, considering the Ferrari driver has good reflexes.

EDIT

You can see at 1:35 he slows down to pass a speed camera. This camera is probably set to 90 kph tops. So you can notice speed wasn't too high.
I hate when people drive like that in Fcars or shit boxes. There is no need to drive like that across 4 lanes of traffic weaving in and out and in between cars. Although you think this guy has "good reflexes" if Lewis Hamilton can get a ticket for reckless driving, this guy is far behind. Moreover I could care less if this guy hits a tree and checks out because he has it coming, driving like that, but more likely he will hit a minivan full of kids.

Anyways /rant. That sure sounds nice in the tunnel!

The fact that you posted and said this..

Seems like "Hey, guys check it out, we drive like this all the time, and it's ok, as long as you have good reflexes...."

And then tell us not to be "critical"? People who are not promoting something, usually don't get their panties all twisted up.

At least one noticed the sound. That was exactly what cought my attention in this video. Main reason I posted it.

Again, I don't think the guy has good or bad reflexes. Don't know him. If my english led to this conclusion, my bad. What I was trying to say, from the begging is: driving across lanes in brazil is quite common, so it doesn't impress that much. Cops won't stop you for it, for exemple. In fact, you don't even get stopped for speeding. They just take a photo and send you at home. Never said the guy has reflexes. Said IF it's someone with good reflexes, driving at around 120kph, it's not nearly as radical as it seens on video, for me, cause it's common here.

Did I clarify things now?

If I wanted to promote "street racing" there would be an enormous amount of other brazilian videos I could post, way more stupid/radical than this one. Posted this one cause it sounded good, and I cared to share.

Never said it was ok. Just said it's common here.

No sand. Rest is pretty much accurate.

Man, there were a few close calls there. What's with sliding past the bikes at twice their speed. That guy should be followed and beaten!!

I didn't see anything really crazy for Latinamerica, really, but, I'm amazed on the number of silver cars there are in Brasil...
