Mika Häkkinen torturing C63 on top gear
Here is a clip from latest top gear episode where retired F1 driver Mika Häkkinen drives a C63 around Finnish track with James May. Enjoy!

Man what a great and exciting driver, I really miss watching him drive F1 and the DTM.I have seen him race live against Schumacher in F1 at the Ring and will never forget one of the greatest passes of all time in F1 at Spa.Thanks for the clip!!

That was expected to come because of copyright violations...

It is also on youtube

You can download all Top Gear and Fifth Gear episodes from www.finalgear.com, you just have to install some torrent client on your computer...

I never questioned whether it was stock or not, obviously it was, just saying I wish he could've driven a tuned version since it's such a night and day difference.

I have been watching Mika Häkkinen finesse cars (you can't call what he does just driving) for nearly 20 years.

"Torture"...no. Magic....YES. He never fails to amaze

Had to go back and see my first post :P
It was an epic episode though...he really drove the C63 the way it was meant to be driven. I've been thinking about attending the basic course to start with in Sachsenring in Germany this september. Any member living nearby?

Great Video. Mika still has an uncanny sense of control while drifting a car around the track.

That was all kinds of good. I don't think I've seen him say that many words in a whole season. And the local race was excellent.

It also shows how James May gets beat by a bunch of Finnish everyday drivers.
