This is pretty dang funny.... Riccardo Patrese gives his wife a ride around the Jerez circuit in a Honda Civic Type-R.
And for those that don't know, at one time Patrese was one of the worlds best race car drivers.

Nice vid! I went ahead and googled the type r, curious what it looked like.

I'm sure it's optics, but it didn't seem to be going all that fast. Still funny though.
Cameras never capture the real feel of a race car.
During one of my practice runs for the Pikes Peak Hillclimb one year I let my dad ride up with me in a IMSA GTU Mazda RX-7. He said it scared the snot out of him. His comment I remember the most was: "Just as I am convinced there is no way in hell we are going to make the corner, you turn in and the car slides through the turn." And that comment was from a man who had raced Baja before.
priceless!!:2thumbs::2thumbs:
I liked how it was a casual Sunday drive for Riccardo. Smooth as butter.
