Death of a Cayman

Tires in the grass four times in the first 90 seconds of the video, and his steering wasn't close to the worst part of his driving. 

In reply to VolvoHeretic :

Takes a bit of readjustment, especially when trying to also train the left hand to work a manual, but once that is done all is good. No better, no worse.

After watching it twice, I am beginning to wonder if the whole thing was staged?  He was pretty blase about the end result . . .

So, is it easier driving on the right side of the car compared to the left side or no difference for those who have driven both ways?

I just got back from another trip to Dublin.  It's only 'harder' in the sense that it takes a lot more concentration when you're not used to it, which I find draining.  One thing I never get past on my short trips is a tendency to drift to the left in my lane.  I'm constantly maintaining which bumps I'm hitting and how they relate to the edge of the lane because (I think) I haven't developed an expected sight picture in my brain for driving on the left.

So there are 4 videos posted from this track day, one with each of them driving solo and one with each of them driving with the other as a passenger. White helmet on his own definitely drives better, there are still some seriously bad habits like one hand on the wheel a lot but his downshifts aren't so crazy and he is getting some balance out of the car. Black helmet is just as bad on his own other than he isn't over-driving as much going off track, he's still over-revving on downshifts though (chirps the rear tires at least once) and is just odd to watch (he moves around in the seat in a strange way on the straights). White helmet driving with black helmet passenger is over-driving, over-revving and generally not good. Black helmet driving with white helmet riding we all know how that goes.

Maybe they went out in the posted session with a motor already ticking from the previous sessions and decided to just finish it off? I honestly think there is just something a bit off with Black helmet in general, maybe he tripped and hit his head that morning?

In the video with White helmet driving and Black helmet passenger, Black helmet doesn't get his chin strap done up until they are completing the first lap. I think out everything shown that is the worst to me.
