Pretty nasty corner ... I'm guessing we'll probably will see some GT86's in the 2013 compilation.

What's clear from the video is:

A) He's starting in last on grid (or last-ish)
B) He's in a Multi-Class group (not all classes are equal)
C) He's in a car that's probably in a class that runs at the front of what appears to be a very large grid.
D) The majority of all the cars he's passing don't appear to racing him, in fact they look like they're all driving way off line to get out of his way (because they know he's in a different and faster class). They are literally moving out of his way.

The video illustrates the noise of straight cut gears very well but it isn't an illustration of any super-human driving.

As stupid and dangerous as that is, it sure looks like a lot of fun.

Looks like he actually drives in the lower classes: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Supercar_Challenge"]Dutch Supercar Challenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

Yeah, I was just going off what I saw in the video. Upon further investigation I feel a bit vindicated. Apparently Rolf is a damn good driver because Rolf Van Os was the 2006 champion but that video was from 2002 in the STW BMW. That BMW was in the GT1 class which is one of the faster classes. Apparently it's super light, quite powerful and has very short gears. That explains why so many of the cars were making the effort move over. And just because it needs to be said again... damn those gears loud!

Found the Original video/link
