Nice video. I think most have no idea of skill required to pilot F1 car. Looks relatively easy on TV but easy it is not. That video is the only time i have seen Chris Harris speechless. Keep in mind Chris is a pretty good driver.

I think in one top gear episode, Jeremy indicated to properly drive F1 car, you have to ignore what your brain is telling you since the brake points are much farther and there is so much grip you cannot believe you can brake very late and
go flatout on some corners. Your brain is basically saying you will crash and F1 car is telling you no you will be ok

On topic: GTR is not a car i see myself using to ferry the wife and kids to school so it is automatic no for me. Yes GTR is faster but like Chris indicated, not a car you can live with everyday.
