Haha! For those who don't get it in the first few seconds, just keep watching.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I have to ask -- was the guy actually driving? If not, the timing on his faked inputs were really seamless, as was the "head bounce" when hitting bumps.

I hope he actually was driving. Looks believable to me.

They did good job with the steering inputs and head bounces as you said, but if they went to all that trouble why not include braking? Watch the driver's right leg...I didn't see it move so this 'automatic' must include braking as well as shifting.

Naaaah, not that great, IMO. While inputs were timed well, the degree of inputs wasn't consistent to the corners and timing - turn-in and unwinding at corner exit, specifically. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. :)

It is a good fake, but his steering inputs through the 2-3 "no name" seemed excessive. You know, right after he put down his knitting.

Funny. Maybe my mom will try track now that I can show her you can knit and drive at the same time.
