Although he does bounce it a lot, people do this all the time on AutoX and road course.

I pity the next owner of that AP2.

If you think his driving is fine, ask yourself how you would feel if you were in the passenger seat and he was driving your S2K like that...

I will likely find myself doing it. To get faster times, sometimes it's faster to bounce it against the limiter than to downshift, and then have to upshift again.

"Speed is in kilometers per hour of course." That's a damn lie.
