I hope he is not married with kids and if he is he better have a killer life insurance policy.

Great driving though.

I liked the part where he shaded his eyes from the sun - b/c he couldn't see where he was going.

And the bug splat.

Fun movie. . . I remember seeing that several years ago. Have it in my video clip collection.

The sun shade portion was a great one.

I also like the point where he's doing a hair pin turn just as the chopper rises so the camera can follow the car as it climes up several stories. Cool cool shot.

I've raced that track before. Piece of cake. I even won against the ghost car.














On Gran Turismo 4 that is
