There are a lot of things to love in this video, including but not limited to DTM, a no lift Eau Rouge and Finnish people.

Enjoy.

Hate to burst your bubble, but he did lift through Eau Rouge (the uphill part at least). You can hear him get back on the throttle at the top.

Wow, that was impressive. I love the huge rooster tail of water when he gets up to speed.

Damn, you may be right. He definitely lifts at the middle of the hill after Eau Rouge (you can hear the backfires before he gets back on throttle). After re-watching now I'm not sure he is foot down going into the actual Eau Rouge either, which is just the first left-hander. Still, that's a lot of speeds to carry through that complex in the wet in anything other than an F1 car.

Totally. It's nuts how much aero those DTM cars have.
