Time to shoot the driver and get a new clutch.

I know a guy that shifted like that and every car he has driven that had a clutch, it was worn down to the rivets in about 2 months.

That is some bad shifting...gas was still in during lots of the shifts and he wasn't heel-toe shifting, either. Plus, the track was mildly wet when the Stig drove the car...and I'm looking at the time and it didn't look faster than 1:26 to me...but it was close.

Poor Lotus, driven without heel-toe shifting...it is a car for real driver!

@lamborgboy true ... so fck'n true

[lamborgboy]

I haven't got a clue but he is very fast

[dealerovski82]

@lamborgboy who is stig ?

[lamborgboy]

Stig did his lap in the wet so you cant claim that

[studiog]

the Stig was wearing high heels and had his stereo cranked making it more difficult

[LostChildOfTime]

And yeah, I agree with chiniita. I didn't even notice there was no heel and toe. The first thing I was checking to see if he'd lift through the follow through. Wasn't a bad lap, just could've been executed better for a better time.

[LostChildOfTime]

Those are Yokohama ADVAN A048s more specifically. Definitely not meant for a wet track.
