I've watched several Kenny Brack videos now, all characterized by furious wheel twirling.

I wonder if someone like Walter Rohrl had been driving this car in those conditions whether the on-camera action would have been as frantic? He teaches that in less than ideal conditions, small and delicate wheel movements are called for. Some of the Scandinavian rally drivers, used to dealing in micro throttle increments to maintain traction, would also have been within a few tenths of Brack's times at Goodwood without the needless wheelspin and associated hysteria. Even the great Mario Andretti was renowned for his calm and meticulous driving style, and he wasn't slow!

But yes, I agree, the clip is entertaining enough, in a "Gone in Sixty Seconds" kind of way.
