If you check the profile there are a number of vid's. Slightly different to the London Meets

I couldn't hear it due to the drivers teeth rattling around in his head

Great vid ! Turbo needed some cups.

Can't help thinking if this had taken place on public roads in the UK, the above comments would have been totally different in nature, but considering what Beirut has been through over the years this is quite tame!

Mental driving on a public road.

Is that the traction control or PSM light flashing away?

Absolutly correct. Whats great about (other than showing the massive divide between wealth and poverty) is that vid shows some semblance of normality within the city.
Not that long ago it would have been a vid of Toyota pickups racing around with Christians killing Muslims or the other way around.

All they need now is some traffic cops (other than ones based on ISIS) and normality will prevail.

Where was the mp4 ??

That is some hill climb, I'm guessing close to 10km up to a ski resort

About 100 years of near misses in 6 minutes, it had it all, parked cars, pedestrians, sheer falls without barriers, just missing a couple guys carrying a sheet of plate glass across the road and a crate full of oranges.

Looks like the video has been speeded up. Changes of direction don't look right and his hands move too quickly to/from the gear lever. The tone of the sound isn't right too.

I could be wrong though.

Didn't think it looked overly fast with the scenery just a bumpy camera....

Horrific understeer in the GT3 right enough

In the second video (should follow on from the first automatically)

At 6:24 on the first vid, is he on the inside line on a blind bend on a two-way road? (Can't work out how he could possibly know if anything is coming the other way)
Surely that's not bravery, more russian roulette?

thats some video !
