Cool

Constantly scanning up the road, in the mirrors, around corners.

I went back and watched it again after Tom pointed out how he constantly scans and checks mirrors. Very cool. You hear about how bumpy Sebring is, this really shows just how bad it is. The corner before the pit straight...whoa.

It has to become 2nd nature Derek. You can't think you must simply react based on your experience and feel. Over time, a lot of seat time, it is not as hard as it looks. Many would ask you how you do what you do in your car.
