I agree he gets pretty close but whats the point if he spins out everytime!

And yes - I could do better! (Been practising at IKEA!)

Can't wait for this car.

Ok, then I understand your comments of course!

Dont you think he spins out because the photographer got his photo, then he starts over again to make a new one?

Looks like he has control to me, waving whilst drifting is a good sign

Boo-yah! I've been trying to tell the peeps here that even what those of us saw at the pre-drive wasn't indicated as final.
