That was my thought what about going "all in" after the first 360. Must have been looking at the scenery. If your not going to steer out of it then I would think all in is next.

He didn't do anything until the car stopped. Very lucky.

I thought it was a sequential transmission thing. ??? I think he is guiding the trajectory via the brake pedal. :prayer: Not a scratch :thumbsup: Just a little quiver in the left leg.

It took me a few watches to realize that the windshield actually came out in the first video.

From what I understand they finished the race without it.

I was wondering what that rubber piece was... I thought it might have been part of the first car's tire. That makes more sense though.
