Watch the g-meter during the corners. Full braking, then dance your way around the edge of the friction circle, wringing every bit of grip the tires offer all the way in, and all the way out. This video is a trail-braking master class.

When he got to the end of that straight, pegging 180mph, I just knew it would lift at that first, smaller curve.... but that boy blasted through that thing at 180!!! Only braking for real curve later....

Crazy video! Great post!

Wow! Lots of short shifting to stay on the safe side of traction in that lap as well. Will we see a faster lap even?!

What amazes me the most is that you don't hear even a hint of whine from the supercharger. I wonder what boost level it is running.

Wow, I can't imagine what an adrenaline rush a lap like that must be...so jealous of race and test drivers.

the acceleration is palpable and adrenaline inducing even in the video. It does seem to dance around some, though, but maybe its the camera angle
