because the driver of the corolla is a race driver/pace car professional, and most likely the people driving those FR-S's are the celebrities practicing for the race. You can see they are definitely braking way early and the corolla is just dive bombing them like it aint no thing.

just goes to show, it's not the car, it's the driver.

Because racecar!!

lol to this thread. It's always about driver skill, not the machinery he/she uses. There should be no doubt about that. Do you expect Paris Hilton to log fast lap times because she has an LFA?

That Corolla also doesn't look/sound too stock either.

SMH. You've done it now...

This looked to me like a track familiarization session with the celebrities.

I believe this video was shot for the purpose of showing the public what the track looks like at speed. This was certainly NOT an active race.

That Audi R8 right near the end with the rev matching... Omg

I'm sorry. That Camry doesn't look stock.

You can hear the racing brake pads squealing when he brakes. That's not a stock V6 camry.
