Maybe at full braking, but don't do that much.

Do you want to see not only heel-and-toeing, but also keeping the engine (turbo) in the powerband AND not killling spectators all at the same time? Watch the master in action (Walter Rhorl):

Then why the heck not make threads over 45 days auto lock themselves? Most other forums ask you to search first, and not start a new thread when there's an old one already, so most folks assume that's the case. There's an easy way to achieve what they want without any hassles. It's like leaving a jar open with candy inside and expecting your kids to not get any. Just close the freaking jar and problem solved, right? . Just saying.
Wow, Walter Rohl knows how to drive a car FAST!!!

Nevertheless ... all those spectators so close to the road ... completely ridiculous.
