Happy New Year! I realize I've been pretty slow to post new content on my blog in recent times, but have been busy and waiting for something special to share with you. Now I've found it!
Even amongst car enthusiasts, I've found that sometimes there isn't enough appreciation for truly skillful driving. Many of us enjoy watching smoky burnouts or racing from a highway speed roll, and of course there are a lot of drag racing enthusiasts out there...but when it comes to precision driving it's really hard to compete with what it takes to road race for time, similar to a hill climb event.
I stumbled across this video and was blown away. It shows the methodical preparation and skill required to compete in a rally stage, and the kicker is the guy is driving one of the harder sports cars to manage...a Porsche 911 GT2. This is a car that doesn't tolerate fools, and many a driver has experienced that the hard way since it offers rear engine placement, rear wheel drive, and no help of any electronic nannies or stability control systems to manage its 500 hp. An average driver cannot handle a car like this even near it's limits, so it's always a treat to see a real pro doing what the car is meant to do.
