Don't mean to sound like anyones father but.......

One thing is certain....no one is the best driver in the world & has even some control over a vehicle pushed beyond what it was designed to... drive normally on streets and slow down on corners etc....even with mods.

No matter what any of you say even the best, with the best equipment & experience die.....Have any of you heard of Possom Bourne?
He was until a week or two ago one of the worlds best rally drivers...( I think he even used to race GT4's in Asia Rally serise a few years back) He died in a rally crash, on a road he knew, with the best equipment money could buy & with many more years experiance than any of us...

One thing to remember is a car will not do the same thing in the same way every time. meaning different road surfaces make the car do different things, the difference between having a full tank of fuel on one occasion or an empty one make the car behave differently when you push it.
You may not notice these things in everyday driving, but when you go beyond the safe limits these type of variables are multiplied 10 fold.

I only offer this advice to those over confident drivers as I almost lost my brother when his turbo sports vehicle that he knew well got into a situation on the Great Ocean Rd in Victoria Australia, where the road condition changed unexpectedly while cornering & caused the car to slide, but when he was trying to correct the slide the road surface changed again & caused the car grip & then over correct and throw the car into the other direction.
The only problem being the other direction was an edge of a steep cliff about 250mtrs down to the ocean & rocks....He was lucky to have lived....

Just for the record he wasn't speeding either....

Don't fool yourself - when you push beyond the limits you stop being the driver and become a passanger...!
