yup, I don't blame eddie either. ****, I have never been in a car with that much power or value and if someone told me to drive it like i stole it with no consequences, the end result might have been similar. lol.

that's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe it was so the cameraman could get that close without having to worry about dying?

Yup... bad course design. If this was an autox, there would have been accidents too.

Eddie still screwed up though. This wasn't just knocking a cone. He did a full, too hot, understeer slide through the cones and way off course.
