I guess letting go of the wheel in drifting is the preferred method...

Thats pretty good, Short-Throw.......

His straightaway handling leaves alot to be desired.

It's my evil-twin, or the Kazoo on my shoulder (Flinstones)

For a drifter, his corner exits are horrendous....Isn't that where they are supposed to drift ???? He likes drifting the straights.

Hoosier would love for me to do stupid crap like that.

Danny,

It's was more kudos to you.

I didn't get the traversing down the straights either.

I'm sure you could follow him at his track, but I doubt he could follow you at yours....when lap times actually mean something!

You'd have to fake left, then fake right, then fake left, then fake right, then be pretty damn quick going through.

Or just wait until he drives along the pit wall on the straights and then pass.
