Now I'm ready for my lap in the Liana images/smilies/biggrin.gif

That's an excellent guide! I had always wondered what the names of some of the corners meant. Thanks for sharing. images/smilies/smile.gif

Wtf is it just me or does the steering wheel of the Enzo move up and down a bit after the Stig has done the lap and is slowing down?

AND something even more amazing, if you let the video stop itself when the Enzo has stopped and then click on the Previous button and click play again you will see an extra second of footage where the wheel of the Enzo is moving up and down. Maybe the Stig is adjusting the height of the wheel? images/smilies/tongue.gif

Very nice tutorial about the track though and its great to see what its like to drive around it from the driver's perspective images/smilies/smile.gif

thanks for sharing, great video! It's good to see where all the names of the corners came from..

Anybody notice that this Stig's lap in Enzo was quite a messy one, or is it just me? Especially the hammerhead, he went in an oversteer and then the car understeered, went out of the lines and oversteered again images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I think it would be good to see in regular powerlaps in the actual show this in-cockpit view, because it shows how much does the driver has to do in order to tame the raging stallions under the hood.

Wich just fuels the theory about them being "easy" on the Enzo (and it being a lot faster) because it was lend to them privatley not by ferrari and they didn´t want to risk damage, so the Stig didn´t do enough laps to get a propper Time. images/smilies/dry.gif

He´s really fighting it ... and that´s an Enzo ... think about how it must be to drive something without that level of technology like an Koenigsegg ...

Very cool to see a complete lap from the driver's perspective.

Great footage, and the soundtrack is awesome.

I can't wait to drive on this track in GT5 next year. I wonder if I can best Simon Cowell's time?

I've never particularly noticed before, but Stiggy was very violent whipping the wheel left and right. All my racing instructors emphasize "smoothness" and gradual turn in with the wheel but Stiggy obviously says to hell with that.

I did have one maverick instructor with the SCCA who won his class in nationals who shared Stiggy's approach. Maybe he is the stig images/smilies/wink.gif
