Haha. No damage, right? Thanks for sharing! Its easy to lose grip on that corner. Seen lots of good cars with good drivers lose it there.

Chris -- I was wondering if that was rain on the windshield or just bug splats.

Bad driver. Did you hear him chirp the tires when downshifting?

Never mind the goofy throttle work.

Ugh - journalist???

He was probably the guy who wrote the article that says the new Viper was a gas guzzler, and that the 07 ZO6 was a much better car........

That corner is crazy... I've seen lots of people high side on bikes through it. The problem is that it's off camber and over a rise. The suspension will get unloaded coming over the rise, and if you're not set up for it, you can get in trouble in a hurry.

Add into the fact that with the terrible camera work he seemed he was not only driving the car but also holding the camcorder at the same time haha
