Jellis; I have about 15 driver school days which doesn't make me an expert, but I have ridden with and watched a lot of the instructors at the drivers schools and none of them ever slide the back end (noticeably) going around corners. Some of them are racers and all of them have many, many, many track days. None of them drift out of corners in order to be the fastest.

I could be wrong, but I've never seen drivers that know what they're doing drive like the M3 driver in the video. So I think the M3 would have won by an even larger margin if it'd been drive by a more skilled driver.

It was still a fun video to watch.
