A couple of great video's here from Pistonheads, Dirk Schoysman in the GT-R, makes it look like driving to the shops, fantastic stuff!


 
wow, his commentary of the ring is really insightful too. looked effortlessly fast and look at how theyre compressed into their seats at the fox hole :S
 
Quite a lot of difference in style between Schoysman and Suzuki, one is smooth and Suzuki monsters the steering to almost induce oversteer, quite interesting as both lap in similar times I believe.

Somebody picked up on Suzuki-sans countersteer/flick when the first 7:29 vid circulated. Theory is that it upsets the transaxle and induces the car to pull a bit more through the corner, tricking the GT-R out of maintaining its rear bias and increasing the already freakishly high exit speed the GT-R enjoys. Tried it out for half a day at Anglesey a few months ago and it seems to work, less scrabble anyway but my diff temps went up about 10 degrees. Good laugh though.

Schoysman is too cool for school though. That was a bloody quick lap by mere mortal standards.
