"I wish I could down-shift like that guy."

Yep, heel-and-toe. They teach that at DE, you know. All drivers in Black and Red run groups do it.

I have to say, though. It's either the driver or the car (or just me) but I had a feeling that he was doing too much unneccessary sliding, too many jerky corrections with the steering wheel, and he almost lost his butt couple of times. It also looked like the car (or the driver) behind him was faster.

I love the orange, too.
