November 23, 201411 yr Well rehearsed if the tyre marks on the various stages are any indication. I did that last week in my Isuzu 4X4 on the Mae Hong Son road Well it felt like it
November 23, 201411 yr Author 65 in the title Could be, my bad, it was late, wanted to get the topic up before bed. But does that make it any less enjoyable? Or relevant? Never mind, rhetorical question.

But there is plenty of that and it's amazing he can do them without even being able to see most of them with so much tire smoke.
November 23, 201411 yr Author Well rehearsed if the tyre marks on the various stages are any indication. Actually in comparison it was not rehearsed all that much, but if you think about it each rehearsal from the first being the most dangerous to the last being the quickest no doubt and with it;s own dangers makes is that much chance for something going seriously wrong. I'm amazed that they allowed him to run through the middle of China town like that? Most of that is walkway, not for cars and one wrong move or mechanical failure and he's doing a lot of damage to a really iconic, authentic part of LA the tire marks alone are going to be there for quite some time. He ran circles around the troopers car... and the reverse direction 360's are a thing of beauty. That guy has some serious car control talent but doesn't really seem to be able to translate it to the track where he's only had minimal success. The reason is that the track can't be rehearsed, there's no second take and it requires other skills like instant recognition and solutions versus a set up and practiced set of circumstances and that takes a special talent.
