the driver got steering wheel issues... he too harsh.

as Gilles Panizzi said: the secret of tarmac driving is to do it as ataxi driver... you got ot go easy on the car.

also Sebastirn Loeb says: you got to keep clean lines through the corners... combining both statments to gether then you get "nice and easy driving on clean lines and you will be on top".

the guy in the lotus was probably spending too much time at the SEGA rally video game machine.

i thought he did a lot of over-correcting but i wasn't gonna say anything. he musta been new to such a light car.

He wasnt smooth or consistent. I wasnt going to say anything either cuz the video qualitys poor and wasnt sure if i was seeing it right

kinkyllama & Audacityracing: you are both right... the guy seems to be new to this car (or even race driving) as he was very harsh with the steering and using the throttle on the wrong time during cornering... not to mention the massive oversteering he did and the funny braking style... reminds me of how Colin McRay used to drive on gravel rallys.

Well, i bet is a bit hard to drive a RWD lightweight car with 400hp.

I was on the passenger seat of my friends 415WHP CRX, and hell... it was spinning all over the place in 3rd and 4th gear... a bit scary but fun at the same time.

The traction in a rwd car not good than a fwd. most in the curves
