Thanks for the excellent description!

It's a video of a homeless guy drifting a tractor in the videogame Liberty City.

Its a remake of the Ken Block Gymkhana video and its pretty funny, sorry for wasting your eyetime by not providing a description.

Seems like it's a really popular spot so most of those people are probably pushing way harder than they normally would just to showboat. I wonder what the police are like on that road--if they're after crossing the lines more than they're after speeding.

The road is the Mulholland Highway (aka The Snake) and its really popular due to its close proximity to Los Angeles.

Jay Leno likes to drive his ridiculous automobiles on it:

Cops are usually pretty busy on it too it seems:

Not to mention the sound. I love an overboosted 4, don't get me wrong, but something about a high-torque, high-revving N/A V8 is just fantastic.

In the last three days I've nearly been hit head on on three different occasions by people crossing into my lane coming around turns over blind hills.

People just don't give a gently caress about driving.

From the looks of the video, the camber on the outside of the curve seems really lovely compared to the inside, which would explain why everyone's using the inside lane to keep their speed up.

Or there are just a ridiculous number of asshats on that route.

There's also a flat spot in that turn on the outside that's really hard to distinguish in the video. By flat spot I mean more level than the rest of the road's slant through the curve. It throws a lot of bikes for a loop (er... highside)

Road rage between a car and a bunch of street bikes. It amazes me that people on bikes are so unaware of how fragile they are. Take his plate or follow him home, but purposely driving inches from his car and repeatedly speeding up to challenge him?

While it doesn't make it okay, those guys looked like pretty decent riders from how many saves they had. I was waiting for one to pull and iron or a spark plug out of a tank bag.

That driver's a massive wanker, but I don't get why they didn't just hit the horizon when he first started driving aggressively. It's not like he can magically find another 500bhp to keep up.

Goddamn, they were riding IN his lane at the start, invading his car's space, and then at the end off the video they're calling HIM a crazy rear end in a top hat?

So a gang of bikers surrounds you on the highway, you hit the gas to get away and they chase you and persistently harass you. I'm not sure actually hitting them is the best choice but after a while you're probably going to get scared for your life.

Proper protocol is to ghost ride your whip when the ruff rydaz surround you. Scares them off real quick.

InitialDave is kinda right, the camber in that corner is apparently a lot trickier than it looks, but that Elise crash just has target fixation written all over it. Ran a bit wide, got eyes on the barrier and then that's it.

Just a video I shot the end of May that I got around to uploading now. Not much in the way of action, but it gives a pretty good idea of what my local track is all about from the best seats at OCFS, high and deep in turn one.

Compare that video to this one from almost the same location, but 30 years ago. The track looked, uh, different then. Check out the pro style pit stops, too. I was somewhere in turn 1 here, 3 years old, my dad is most likely shitfaced. I think most people then were shitfaced.
