cool video! What strange is Zwart doesn't pitch or throw the car into the turns like most WRC drivers do. Zwart just seems to let the car understeer thru the turns. Towards the end he seems to get a little bit over cooked in see-sawing that steering wheel and not knowing whether to shift or not. Still a fabulous drive!

You know thet steering the opposite way first in order to make the car change directions quickly. Kind of the Tiff Nedell way. Ever see him throw an AWD car around a 720' spin @100mph!

Btw... I am a BIG fan of Zwart's books and films/art work.

Saw this a few days ago, I am obsessed with cup cars and on the dirt is amazing. Excellent driving indeed!

Off topic, but I had one blow by me at MSR Houston a few weeks back and almost had to pull into the pit lane to change my pants That engine notes gets me every time.



consolidated, you going to be out at H2R for the HPDE July 24th?

Btw... I wonder IF those two brothers (I forget their names) will run thier uber rare RUF turbos. They use to run a BTR and CTRII cars at Pikes Peak, I think they have some connection to RUF USA if I am not mistaken. ???

Hey JC, I was going to try and go tomorrow for the TnT but not so much now.

I'll be there either the 10th or 24th for one of the DEs but will probably drive the boxster to prep it for an August race at High Plains Raceway in Denver, that track looks like an amazing drive.
