I didn't see anything wrong with his driving. Normal driving, that isn't a skill, driving fast is. You aren't able to do the same things doing 70 as you are doing 170. One of those things are waiting until the other car has fully left the lane. Been there done that, still do it from time to time, will be doing it again when I finish my new engine build.

I have one and its an amazing car however because its based off an S8 platform power is still very bias to the front wheels and drives nothing like the RS models. its fast, blistering fast but you're have to really fight the wheel when you decide to plant that pedal.

That driver was taking his life an many other peoples lives for granted. What exactly was the point of this driving display. I for one do not like being overtaken by another car with such a huge speed disparity. I drive my car fast at times but not in places where a lane change by an idiot would kill everyone in both cars. As a former first responder believe me when I say speed kills. The effect of speed upon fatalities is not incremental. it is geometric. the kinetic energy at 140 mph is not twice that of 70mph. Maybe that is the law over there. it just seems completely dangerous and unnecessary. Realize this is coming from someone who used to campaign Super Gas and Super Comp automobiles, I know what speed does in crashes!
