Fun videos!  
 
If you'd like to see that from the cockpit, and if you are a juvenile delinquent at heart, buy the F1 2010 game for Play Station, X-Box, or PC.  You know you are getting somewhere when you can drive that Au Rouge turn at Spa full throttle!  The physics model used is so remarkably accurate, I'm told the F1 driver's use it to practice.   Especially true of the Korean GP that ran for the first time in '10.  The game came out before the running, before the course was completed.  The designers used GPS based survey of the course to build the game.  You can set realism to compensate for tire wear, fuel load, damaged wings and such.  The track even "rubbers in" over the course of practice, qualifying, and the race!  You can race against AI drivers, or hook-up over the net to race other JDs from around the world.
 
Words of caution:
 
It is probably more addictive than crack
Your Significant Other will hate it for the time you spend and the noise (surround sound is awesome)
Your dog will run away
You might want to check with a Doctor to be sure your heart can take it! (I got my HR monitor to register 144bpm sitting on the couch!)
Do not, under any circumstance, drive a real car, especially and Audi turbo, on public roads immediately after playing the game.
 
You didn't hear of it from me!
