That first guy driving with both hands on top of the steering wheel is really bugging me lol especially as he attempts to drive on a track

If you mean me by the first guy - yes, I know, I am holding the wheel wrong, old habit, and no, I did not attempt to drive on the track, I actually drove on the track.

Nicely done videos. Especially for what was essentially a one - take style format.
If the instructor in the passenger seat at the auto-braking area task was named Sarah.. I know her and recognize her voice lol. Oh the technology ! Cars that shift themselves, brake themselves , accelerate themselves , turn themselves, and stay in their lane by themselves !! Thanks for the demos, it is indeed luxury driving (or should I say navigating ??!) at it's finest. I can't wait to meet my first HPDE student that wants to use DCT and the DRIVING ASSISTANT on track ... for better lap times .. of course Well at least with the driving assistant on... perhaps I'll feel safer !! |

The event is still going, most CA's and Geniuses go from across the country. I think they go through about 90 people a day. |
