Finishes the lap in a little over 10 mins with traffic in a Lexus IS-F. Thoughts? Criticisms of driving style? :P

OK, didn't embed properly. Anyone know how to embed youtube vids? Used to be able to do it on the old forums.



Thats cool,  I dont know how to get the video to embed but i watched the vid on youtube.  Hes not to shabby a driver



i'd like to see how fast he is round the Top Gear track in the Reasonably priced car. Thats the ultimate track where hundreds if not thousands of celebraties have gone round.

yeah when i said ultimate, i didnt mean ultimate as in to serious to put him and a car to the test kind of way, i just meant it in a fun kind of way. i love watching top gear each week and seeing which worldwide celeb is in the reasonably priced car doing a lap round that track. And seeing as hes put the top gear track in GT5 i'd like to see how he matches up to the celebs times and racing car drivers time saswell.

Well I would imagine he would beat most of the times the celebs put up because Kaz is a race car driver,  I believe he has taken place in a few professional races.   He has been interviewed by Top Gear,  so i wouldnt be surprised if he actually raced around that track.



That was a nice pass early on.  He's very smooth in his steering.

That said, he's a little jerky with his throttle usage, and it seems like he's not quite at the best slip angle.  He's not even having to correct much.  He could probably take that turns a bit faster.  He also is coasting too much (relatively speaking).  He's clearly not a profressional race driver, but he's very good nonetheless.


I wish we could see the telemetry from the lap. :P

Dont know if it was the original UK Top Gear,  the article was posted on this website once and is an easy search on the net to find.
