very impressive...I got car sick just watching that video. The 180 mph at the slight curve was epic. I agree race car drivers are extremely brave MoFos.
I got a great appreciation for race car drivers when I went to the INDY 500 years ago. During qualifications (Al Unser was the driver) came out of turn 4 and all you heard was a slight rumble of the tires and the next thing I saw was him barreling by into turn 1. He was doing like 240 mph on the front straight away. I was in the pit area seating area during qualifications and seeing him fly by at that speed brought chills through my entire body. I have never felt that feeling since. My first words were...these guys are true brave gladiators with balls of steel.
