Autotesting

Post

A video I devised during my race yesterday in the first round of the South of Scotland Car Club's 2007 championship. I came 22nd overall but I was one of the few with no handbrake which cost me alot of time and I had the longest car there so it was a good result.

Just pretend that you have no idea about driving and take it slow. Trying to show off can only get you in trouble with driving instructor :wink:

Regarding that video... I'm still dizzy after seeing it hours ago :lol:

I've never done that - I don't think I could remember the path to take, haha

The paths do take a while to remember but i seem to have a knack for it, what I loose in speed and technique I half make up for in direction is my theory at the moment. For the record that race got me 22nd overall and 2nd in class which is a very positive result for a tarmac event.

My driving lesson was hard and I was really surprised how unnerving it is on the road, hopefully I'll soon get more confident though.

Driving is easy, getting around in traffic is the assbiting part.
