    I liked the part where he points and laughs at the bike rider, right before he passes him (4:51 minutes into the video).

    For the conditions that was a pretty fast ride, it definately has allot left in it. Jan passes the start line at the 0:59 mark, passes couple of bike riders/cars and slows down half way through Dottenger Hohe at the 7:50 mark. I wonder what a full lap would have netted him.

    OMG; that was quite the ride for the passenger i imagine. He was FLYING through a very good portion of the track. Def. helps when you have a professional racer taking you for a ride like that. LOVE the sound of that Vette as well.

    Just after the 4.55 mark, I couldn't quite tell if Jan said "look out" or was having a laugh while pointing & passing the motorcyclist at WOT near 6 grand while cresting a small rise on the entry to a fast right hand kink. Gave me a good laugh. :D

    The passenger's nervous laugh and deep exhale at the end sure does tell the story!

    Armen, life's short. Make it happen! :)

    Like most professionals, Jan is very smooth. He seemed to be fighting the ZR1 very little on what appears to be for him an effortless lap! Thanks

    He did not spin it. Camera was just quite shaky.
