For the rest of us mere mortals, the competition will be quicker 10 times out of 10.

Sounds like Randy was leaving it in auto as he complained about the programming choosing the wrong gear in hairpin turns. Not surprising that he may have been losing a little time because of it that was not a factor when driving the manual transmission. If you are a manual transmission guy it's good news that in the hands of a skilled driver the car is just as capable as the Competition. |
Calling Randy "skilled" is like saying Yao Ming is tall. Sure, it's accurate, but it's not conveying the true reality.
