I guess the Ferrari driver just had more sense than giving more than 20% throttle ... :)

Dont really see the big deal. Get them on a track like, say Hockenheim where there are some straights, and I wonder if the outcome would be a bit differant.

Makes a good story though.

Sorry man but that is as hokey as they come. Sure there is no discounting that the civic passed him . Shoot I've passed Porsche TT , Diablos , and F40's at the ring, But it wasn't because Iwas faster, It was because they were doing there own thing. But If I had my 1/4 million dollar F40 on track doing hotlaps. Iwould error to better part of judgement and slow for traffic.

It's all in the handling and brakes when it comes to running tracks like that. Not power as most people may think. Yes it's good to have power but no good if it can't be applied on the track.....

He probably just wanted to be ahead for once!!! Sure sounded like he was about to explode, though!!
