Yellow Peril posted this on the TVRCC website, but I thought it would be good on here as some light relief. Not TVR related, but ohhhh my god!!! It'll makes your heads spin. Enjoy.

Impressive footage but the guys a tad overated IMO.
Hes a mediocre proffesional rally driver at best.

I'd agree. But his car control is unreal, that simply cant be argued. The rally driving is just for sts and giggles. He was the Co-founder of DC shoes.. He's utterly minted. Thats more impressive and I'm very jealous!

It looks like he cliped the wall as he entered the stadium at 7 seconds ish, but outstanding driving,I would love to have that kind of car control.

Good, but not half as good as Gymkhana 2 - IMO.
I reckon Gymkhana 2 is more varied with better editing/camerawork...

That said the wet spins are impressive, and the slide at 4.30 is just superb..... backwards etc...

My thoughts exactly, you can see the tyre marks where hes spent 1000000 attempts to get it right,

IMO hes overrated

How many takes would it have taken you guys then?

i really cant see how anyone can claim he is over rated? maybe not so good in the rally world, but in these freestyle clips, there is no way you cant say he has fantastic car control and anticipation of what /where & when the car is going react
