He oughta be flipping burgers in no time.
I was thinking the exact thing while watching the video, the surprising thing is he was following two lead cars. He was trying to close the gap in the turn with too much speed. At least they didn't get hurt. Seeing how uncomfortable he is makes we wonder...as your full time job you should be a much better driver. I'm just saying, I've only done a few track days and drive better than this guy.

Haha, do they have a bad rep for this kind of stuff?

Doesn't seem like a great idea to try and race a car you've never driven while giving a review at the same time.

Jalopnik and its parent company has a bad reputation for leaking industry secrets, breaking embargoes, etc all in the name of getting hits on their website.
