When you are slowed down on a small road by a Ferrari...

Both were opening car for the “Ronde Historique des Alpes” which is not technically a Rally as the stages are not times and there is no ranking.

Tbh whenever I see a Ferrari it’s not keeping up with traffic.

2:06 That hand cross made my eye twitch.

Based on camera movement, also one of the stabbiest performances since Psycho.

Vipers have usually been faster outright than their contemporary entry-level Ferraris. Viper is an American sledgehammer to Ferrari’s Italian scalpel. That’s why they’re so beloved.

To be fair, i t’s probably one of the best combo (Viper without a rollcage +  small road without guardrails) to push a driver to make hand placement mistakes.

Personally? I’d rather have a paddle-shifted automatic.

He needed to chill out a bit though if that’s the case because I was nervous just watching. If you’re in a 600bhp sports car, you probably should have a few courses under your belt and not start shuffling erratically and doing weird hand placements when the wheel goes 1/4 turn or more... It’s indicative of going too fast for the driver even if it’s no where near the cars limit.

I’m a stickler for good technique because I’ve watched far too many brothers on motorcycles bin them from lack thereof and trying to be a hero.

It’s also not that expensive to do up a home racing sim, watch the YouTube for a bit of coaching , and ween yourself off street habits for quick driving. Naturally, it’s not full blown HPDE but you can at least get some muscle memory in correct form and practice anything anytime .

I’m also disturbed by the amount of excessive shuffling here. Maybe a few of the tighter corners might warrant it but certainly not most of them. Also who drives at 10 and 2?

Oh man, 1 0&2 might have been default but the hands went to every number on the clock for turns... A few phantom shifts at the start too (where he went for the stick but didn’t shift), occasional needless sawing in the corner.

For fun: I counted 7 corners that would need hand over hand, and most could have just used offset pre-place if he knew the road. He took his hands off for adjustments roughly 75 times (I lost track around 4 and half minutes at like 65 or something ).

I’m no Senna but it distracted me all video . There was so much nervous movement to keep the hands top of the wheel no matter the wheel position.
