Default I'm an F1 Driver. Can I drive your car?
This kinda goes to an earlier discussion we were having about having faster drivers drive your car.

You'd think it would be a real buzz to have an F1 driver show you what your car can do, right? Maybe that'e what this guy was thinking when he got Antonio Pizzonia into the driver's seat. See what happened here

OUCH!
Looks like that Jag's traction control didn't totally turn off so he could slide it like he was trying, whoops. My friend tried to do a slide in an SLK once w/ the TC on (in a safe location mide you) and the sucker just plowed straight. Good thing we weren't going 100mph!

Ouch.

Guess the Jag doesn't exactly handle like an F1 car, huh?

I seriously want that job! I might actually be better at it than I am at DEs, which really wouldn't take all that much now that I think about it.

First off, it was only Pizzonta, not Shue :P

I find it more remarkable that neither was wearing a helmet

Also, Pizzonta likely got down to the break zone and thought the Jag would actually slow down. I guess a 4,000lb car can't slow like an F1 car

In the end, pretty funny!
