Ever tried sending a SMS while racing on a track???

Yup, thats exactly what this guy is doing. He is ripping an S2000 around Monza, overtaking an Integra Type R and a Mazda RX8......while punching the keys on his cell phone!!!

Whenever he is apparently typing, the cell keypad just goes out of the frame.

Wouldn't it be a bigger challenge to SMS while driving on one of our city roads

?

One things for sure he sure is an awesome driver. he overtook all the other cars on track.

And, maybe he wasn't smsing. Stopwatch with split timing laps.

Hmmm, maybe. But, he's damn good, considering he's holding on to the phone while taking corners and shifting gears.

The relative speed between cars while he passed them seemed high, hardly a contest. Were they yielding to him so that he can make this interestng movie?

abhibh · 12th December 2006, 15:37

Yeah as soon as he reached those cars, the cars slow down check out the backlights..

Shan2nu · 12th December 2006, 16:15

Looks like a track day event to me. The Integra and Mazda looked pretty stock.

Yeah, thats what I thought....whatever he was doing, didn't see him hitting the keys even once, more like he was grasping the phone in that particular way

esteem_lover · 14th December 2006, 15:28

certainly not sms , unless he can type without looking at the screen. even i think he must be timing his laps

SRK · 15th December 2006, 18:07

NO!!
I think he isnt using it to SMS..Didnt see him pressing any key..
Its seems as if he was checking out the time...

By the way Its a common site to see people on highways..Driving at high speeds with a mobile at their ear..But it has become less after the cops started picking them up..

Its a lot easier to actually sms while driving in one of our cities, as we can jus halt the car for a moment, and then proceed, the only thing the fellow in the back wud do is honk! that he wud do even if u were not stopping in the middle of the traffic!
