I used to feel sorry for DC when he lost his F1 ride, but I think he may now have the best job in the world! He still gets to drive an F1 car, but doesn't have to deal with all the pressure and BS.

If Red Bull is smart, they'll put together a DVD of all these F1 promotional videos - they'd sell a ton. Or give them away as a promotional deal - buy a case of Red Bull, get a DVD Smile

I saw another video that is presumably from the same visit that I was going to start a thread about the other day, but i'll just throw it up here.

I can definitely think of worse jobs. Poor soul, someone should save DC from his horrible contractual obligations Laughing Laughing Laughing

Have any of you guys heard of Smokey Nagata? Japanese guy who made his name doing illegal top speed runs in his super tuned Supras and Skylines all over the globe. Heres a video of him doing 205mph through a tunnel in England in an R33. That tunnel shot of DC reminded me of this old video:

Look at the walls look at the lines in the road.. They should look like a blur going that fast.. But they don't

The first video, that's 190mph. The second, there's no way that's even 150mph.
