Automobiliac Video of the Week: Midnight Bandit Street Karting!

This may just be one of the best videos on youtube.  God I wish I had the cojones or just plain stupidity to attempt something like this.  But then again, that's why I am still alive and have all the limbs I was born with.  Still, this is the closest thing I have seen on youtube to Claude Lelouch's immortal "Rendez-vous." I can only imagine what people thought on the highway as this little kart with floodlights blew past them!

Enjoy!

Automobiliac Video of the week: How to properly drive a Multi-million-dollar racing car.

From the depths of youtube's diamond mine, I have unearthed this awesome clip of a very skilled driver lapping Silverstone in Nick Mason's fantastic Ferrari 250 GTO.  If the phrase "aggressive smoothness" seems like an oxymoron, just watch.  The driver pushes the car hard on what seems like it may have been a slightly damp track, but he executes every move and every downshift deftly and with precision.
