Nice aggressive driving - bouncing off the rev limiter...!

Why two gear sticks? Not seen that before.

Just read that, I was so enthralled by the driving I didn't scroll down to read the detail.

Fantastic driving - awesome with hand control only....

Now I know who you are - an extremely well known and hugely talented driver.

My hat off to you Jason....Pretty sure I saw you race in the mid 90's in Formula 2.

I shall now follow Danish Touring Cars with far greater interest. :cheers

That's very impressive. My Father lost his leg in accident, so he put hand controls in his cars and I learned to drive a couple of sports cars that way. I can't imagine the talent level you'd have to be graced with to drive a car at speed with hand controls only, esp. considering the braking requirements plus the fact you usually need two hands on the wheel at all times! You are a true inspiration Jason. Good on ya!

That is most impressive, sir, MOST impressive.

With hand controls?!?!?!

Wow. Seriously. Wow. :eek :cheers

Edit: I just watched that about five more times, and I am truly speechless. Amazing. Just amazing....

That's awesome! I had a feeling it was you.

I learned to drive on a car that was also equipped with hand controls and I can't even begin to imagine the skill level required to pilot a car like that using them. I sucked at using them going slow in a Vauxhall Astra. You're one talented man! :cheers

Spa is cool, the love Eau Rouge (so far in a Cup Porsche)

I plan to drive there in next years European Ferrari Challenge Cup...Impressive track, nice up and down, might not show that much from the vid!

Thanks for the kind words guys. .. Only a few people like Stefan, MJ and The Shrink knew that I'm not wearing my shoes out like the rest of you.. :wink

Stefan - Lets go for a track day a Spa or Nurburgring next year when weather is good...

As far as mods goes, I'm so far down to headers, wheels and suspension (well, and hand controlled throttle, brake and hydraulic clutch with button on the gear lever.. ha ha)

The GT is done quite different than the Porsche - I'll make a vid if you guys are interested...

Yes I'm sure we'd all like to see that! , with some good in-car shots of your setup. I told my Father about you, and showed him the video. He was also very impressed. Naturally, he's curious about the engineering side, as he is an engineer too. He's past driving fast cars but was curious about what the 'state of the art' is for your setup. Kudos!
