Can someone explain this driving style?

[tommobot]

Why does this guy feel the need to make huge adjustments all the time?

Is this some silly 'feeling for grip technique' or is the guy just due a crash soon?


He's doing the same in the wet aswell on his other videos, which just looks very iffy!

Very strange...

Normally you have to adjust a bit, not to that extent, maybe he is testing something.

Don't know, he is probably better drive than I am, but I assume sometimes it's because he needs to adjust steering angle to better suit the corners, other times I think he is catching movement from the rear of the car, the rest of the time, no clue!

Just a guess though.

[littlebasher]

I just assumed he was having a fit or something.

Bit of a spaz really, he doesn't seem to know how to drive around bends either

[rossyIIa]

It does seem like he is just unsettling the car, and in an Elise that isn't the greatest of ideas.

[useyourdellusion]

It does look iffy, especially on public roads....

I didn't expect to see the general public travelling the opposite way.

[L91 EON]

Looks like he's trying for a drift but not actaully going through with it.

That driving style cant be good for the tyers

[TOENHEEL]

Very odd, i would say a bad cambered road or bumpy road does give quite a bit kickback in the steering, does in my Exige anyway but that road looks pretty decent. Maybe hes nervous? ha.

[Tunku]

He learnt to drive on a Play Station. Wait till he uses the barriers to get round the corners faster.

[Webber3]

Wierd, looks like something's wrong with the car.

[Slagathore]

I think he needs to spend a bit more time on his own side of the road!

I've never seen the late Mr McRae or his colleagues steer like that when they're on a loose surface stage, so god knows what he's doing in that video.

toe settings, probably has the car set very very twitchy

[andy-xr]

Didnt appear to be going anywhere near quick enough for that amount of scrabbling. I think he has hand tourettes

..and I shall be a bit more clever with my steering...

[Road Pest]

I miss my Lotus.

[fatboy69]

he's a bit of a plank!

[hornetrider]

Piss poor driving, really terrible technique.
