The guy is not very smooth, but he is certainly enthusiastic. Looks like a ton of fun.

Sweet video. He's a are damn good driver, you guys that are saying he is twitchy are pretty funny. I would say the car is twitchy. He's doing what he needs to do to Keep the car on course. It appears to be an oversteering monster older style turbo Porsche.

That is a clip of the video: "Fazcination on the Nurburgring" in the RUF Yellow-Bird. It was done it the late 80's and all the movements he's doing is controlling the car at/pass the limits of the car. The RUF Yellow-Bird was one of the fastest road cars at it's time and still one of the fastest in today's standards as well.

This was actually a video produced by RUF to show the performance of the Yellow-Bird. I love to watch this video. DAMN can this guy DRIVE!!!

I'm not knocking the guy's car control, which is pretty impressive. I've never driven a 911 on the track and that might be the fast way around. The way the car is being driven essentially looks like rally technique. Turn in hard, hit the gas and go opposite lock. If that's what it takes to get an older 911 and especially the Yellow Bird or something similar around the track, then this fellow has it down. On the other hand, at least with regard to a car with more standard handling, on many of the turns he looked to be taking the fast-in/slow-out line. Lots of fun to watch, though.
