Not I, but last summer (after a lot of laps in the GPL demo) I four wheel
drifted a Formula Ford through a high speed corner in the rain, lap after lap
:o). I was in heaven, for sure :o))).
I started thinking about this already in GP2 and the summer of -97 I sat in a
Formula Ford :o))). The first time I sat in a real race car in my life :o). I
drove over 100 laps in it.
When riding with a friend or a relative, I'm thinking "I'm dead, he or she has
no clue how this car works, so if anything goes wrong just a little, I'm dead.
Please stay below the recommended speed limit, please." That's what I'm thinking
:o).
I think a good attitude in daily traffic is to think that you're the only one
with a drivers licence. Then you're prepared for everything and you dont get
surprised by anything :o).
Another good thing to keep in mind is that race car drivers are more often
involved in traffic accidents in public roads than non race car drivers. I think
sim racers are in this danger zone to, so take it easy among those drivers
withour a drivers licence, okay :o).
