I bet he could have a good crack at it all in one go tho, Maybe not as "tidy".
You can see normal cars about. The course was the only closed section.

I daresay some of it anyone whos handy with a car could do with enough tries which is whats going on here.
The fact hes tried his hand at proper rallying and failed against the big boys shows the guy doesnt have all that, yet people big him up as some sort of god.
At the same time the "proper" WRC guys don't have time to close parts of SF to hoon about making vids either. This is why the vids are cool. He's doing what we'd all love to do.
Its not about him trying to trick us he's done it all in one run. Its damn obv he hasn't and he admits that. Its just entertainment. Same as Top Gear is scripted to fuck but still bloody brilliant.
Just enjoy it for what it is!
Also, just a bit of trivia - The vids are called Gymkhana because it's what they call Autotesting (as we know it), in the States etc. Its not meant to be ScEnE or anything.

oh yeah i do think its a cool vid
 if you think its one run
bonnet pops up at one point yet is magically down next
i like watching the vids, but i just dont like this party bullshit, this worshipping and the pretentiousness

I think some of it is down to having some natural ability. The guy obv has it.
Look at autotesting. Some people are fucking great, some people are shit.

The way i see it is like a movie, a load of stunts shots cut together.
Like youd see in a movie a car go up a ramp do a full 360 corkscrew roll in the air then land back on its wheels and magically drive off, but you wouldnt really batter an eyelid at it, you just take it in and accept the fact its probably two cars and a stunt guy and some editing.
In fact i bet youve seen half these gymkhana stunts in a fast and furious film somewhere, except its just not all cut as one drive, and theres not the bullshit bigging up one guy to go with it

I agree with this. You see Liam Doran doing the same, Ive been watching him for years and he was shit back in the day, hes just lucky he has the money and access to everything he needs to practise a lot and you see him beating Block in Rallycross. Hes still just a spoilt brat. It outlines whats sad and quite frustrating to me about motorsport though, unless you have money youre not going to get anywhere.

Anyone could learn. A classic scoob can be picked up for buttons. Cheap part worns on it and tesco carpark on a night.
Not legal but if you really wanted to learn.
