heard about it last night. he was an amazing talent and will be missed.
most amazing thing i ever saw him do was on a show about speed that one TLC or Discovery channel or one of them did. he was testing his subaru in the northern forrests of england at full speed with a reporter in the passenger seat instead of a professional co-driver. what made it so amazing to me was that it seemed like a very very odd time to learn that someone speaks with their hands. lol
i have to hunt around for a copy of the show or at least that scene. it was such an impressive display. he showed how to go straight through a turn, spin, prevent a spin, jump, flick, and e-brake pivot a car all while talking and often with only one hand on the wheel. even after all that, he had no explanation for his own ability to manipulate the movement of the car so close to the edge of control.
