Windy Mountain Road

It was raining lightly so I couldn't push it hard.. Some dirt/rocks in the turns too still had fun though.

Normally, I encourage such videos, but double laning?

Be safe about it. Practice lane discipline.

Looks like a cool road, but not something you can get any real speed up on. Looks like it has zero straights!

Sure, but unless you can get some speed up, that seems boring to me. Accelerating and braking hardly even come into play. He could have just left the car in 2nd gear the whole time and not bothered hitting the brakes.

Good point. But it looks a lot different in person than in video.

Not sure where your located but in SoCal there are canyons where you go from an 80mph straight into a hairpin at around 15-20mph. Then you have to deal with the gravel and uneven road conditions. It all involves a much higher skill set than just worrying about throttle and shifting on a straight IMO

Very irresponsible and thoroughly unskilled driving to be across the double yellow center line for most of that video. Enormous, dangerous FAIL.

If the OP were pushing at all, the paint from the double yellow would cause some serious traction issues.... >_<
