I regret i didn't pay more attention to motorsport outside of F1 and motorcycle GP's back in those days. I missed out on such a lot of great races i'm finding out about only now.

Hoot! That's an interesting angle to be pointing coming through the Corkscrew... how did he manage that? You have to be ALL messed up on entry to loop it ass-first down the hill.

You know, he's garalous enough and is a great story teller, Pieter. Someone needs to interview him at length about his motorsport escapades and write a book... that could be you!

thats actually turn 9 (my favorite corner) just following the screw, a very high speed/high G load corner, and if you have a heavy foot it is not difficult to spin. but that being said, i haven't seen anyone spin there in the few races i've seen, and spinning there was the last of my worries when i drove it.

Thanks for the correction, I realize now that's after the bridge, not before. It's possible if you gas too early on track out, but should point you the other direction (to the right side of the track) unless a 270 was achived... requiring some "skillz".
Either that or he's draggin' it back onto the track from the looks of the dirt cloud.
Notice the classy "SWAP SHOPS" graphic on his Enzo. Preston is unique.

I have to correct the corrector, Preston goes wide in the left turn (first part of the CS) and runs through the sand and sort of straight down. Next shot (actually 3 shots later) he is heading for the Marshall (and sometimes photographers), but he had lost so much speed already that he managed a right turn and disappears in a cloud of dust.
So the shot is taken from the inside of the first turn of the CS, almost at the top. I'll keep the interview suggestion in mind.

so youre saying it is epic amounts of terrible driving?
