      Wow! Manual transmission. Removing his hand from the steering wheel to shift into the final gear at 260MPH.

      Balls of steel.

        Wow, that bump when he hit 310 could've been a disaster. Love how he ended on an unpaved path.

          That is freaking nuts - the car doesn't seem to have any wings at all, so there's no downforce, meaning that compared to an F1 car it's going to be really unstable, but it's pretty much 100mph faster than a race car goes and the wings would presumably slow it down in a straight line

          I was only joking

            The VAB in the background is cool.

              He didn’t even do it quickly, his hand was resting there for 3 seconds or so…

                Even in a straight line I would expect it to need more downward pressure…

                    Well, I certainly hope they checked his mpg. I'm not sure, but I bet it was horrible.
