Epic car control (bare in mind the car has no electronics)

The opposite lock he dials in at 2:49 and 7:42 is nuts. It's not easy to reign an early 911 back in when you're that crossed up.

I think I'm most amazed by the fact that he's driven the ring so many times, he knows it backwards (pun intended).

This is what is fascinating I think. His driving style is very aggressive yet it seems as if he doesn't break a sweat doing it.

Agreed and the speed at which he does opposite locks (with one hand too) is stunning.

He's been driving 911's for so long he can probably drive them better then actually walk.

And that, is how you fly a Porsche.

Awesome control. That's what driving/racing should be.

He is an amazing driver. But is he better than Valentino Balboni (Or the other way round)

I don't think Balboni is that great of a driver. You can't compare the two.
