    That was fabulous. Plenty of more power on tap it seems ,too. I thought he might spin out several times.The great handling sure saved him over and over. That is what we call an "E" ticket car ride. \"/ V 12,790 H.P. sold only to select few,can be used on certain tracks only, VERY EXCLUSIVE , to say the least.

    Saw some traces from Michael Schumacher driving and the throttle control makes me feel like a rank amateur, from outside it appears so smooth, the trace shows the lie - just so smooth and progressive...

    The driver is also the owner! I applaud his passion, and his overall skill. But he did seem kinda numb with recognizing the regular limit where his tires wanted to loose traction. To me the car maybe needed some better track tires and more downforce... But what a car! Brilliant! Thanks for the video.

    The Audi R8 with the VF supercharger is pretty similar in that you can loose traction easily in almost any gear by applying too much throttle, too fast. Most DE drivers are accustomed to just pressing down hard on the throttle at every corner's exit. But with such added HP, this is almost never the case. The driver must dish out power thru the throttle with much more increased awareness as to keeping the tires hooked up.
