Unbelievable driving skill (Giorgi Tevzadze)

ION08

Now I don't want to encourage or condone this type of driving, and obviously the guy is a complete nut-job for driving like this on a busy public road and endangering innocent peoples lives....

That said, you really cant help but be impressed by his skill. This guy can definitely drive!

CiniO

He's good allright.
However I don't think he would have any good time if he participated in any kind of rally with special stages.

Being able to drift is only a small bit of good driving skills. Perfect example is Ken Block which is not doing that good in WRC.

However fair play to that guy if he is able to avoid all other road users while doing drifting in public - that's very rare skills - but are we sure that he really can?/ Maybe except from this few minutes of videos, he causes plenty of crashes - we don't know that.

ION08

Yeah, maybe not rally special stages, but I dont know how he's not in some sort of official Drift championship or hasn't been employed as a hollywood stunt driver... or even been recruited as a criminal getaway driver

pcardin

He should have given an "bag" of internet "Likes" first and then shot dead for what he's doing on public roads.

mitosis

Gifted asshole tbh

ION08

Go to 7:45 of the second video where he even answers his phone.

Also doesnt look like he's wearing a seatbelt either!

Recaro seats have their own seatbelt system.

Looks like he trusts his skills.

Looked at the cars around in that video, first thought it has been filmed in early nineties. All sort of classics around. And e34 M5 he's driving looks exactly like mine that was stolen from me over ten years ago.

Sofiztikated

TBH, act the prick on the motorway section/mountain section, grand, go ****ing nuts.

But he was being a dangerous dickhead in a town, @ 0.49/0.50 there is a pedestrian running across the road, he forces his way past drivers, causes oncoming cars to brake hard.

corktina

simply a criminal.

Who knows. Most stolen cars back then ended up in Russia, Georgia or Kazakhstan.

shooter88

Iv seen young Irish lads at cruises do a lot better in car parks

runawaybishop

That's just stupid driving. Does he think he's immune to hitting someone with his "skills" or something. He should just **** right off.

Celly Smunt

It's all fun and games until a child comes out between two parked cars.

The road is a bit damp and his 518i has Goodrides or some other ditchfinders under it. He tries his best to stop but has to swerve around other cars as there is no grip, officer.

yes...ginger isn't common in Georgia. :pac:

randy hickey

I can't for the life of me understand how anybody of driving age could find this cool.

Somebody needs to tell that dick that there are far easier ways to commit suicide that don't involve harming innocent people going about their daily lives.

Seriously uncool.:mad:

Peanut2011

Apart from idiotic driving that we have seen, we have also seen that the footage is sped up and that there is at least two cars involved... Sorry Op but not impressed one bit.

Dord

Sloppy and irresponsible, not cool IMO.

Haven't seen the videos, but I doubt any of his "stunts" are cereographed going by the rest of the comments in this thread. He's just making reckless driving look exciting and stylish. None of it is planned through out. That's not skill. It's not something to be commended.

Big Nasty

Either we had a thread on this previously or it's already in the YouTube thread.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

He's a moron and so is anybody who condones this behaviour on a public road.

Supergurrier

Idiotic driving, on a track he would be a god, on a public road he is just a thoughtless thug

Mar4ix

ill call him skilled driver , if he will win WRC rally , otherwise he is just road criminal, nothing exiting to me. maybe he is skilled driver, but to prove it, no need drive old scrap on mad speed, and wait till somebody will die under his car....



this is what ill call skilled driver....

While I'll agree with first part of what you've written, then I completely disagree with second.

I must say that only difference between the guy from original video and Ken Block is that Ken Block has enough cash for better cars and to afford to rent big closed spaces, streets, professional camera teams, etc...
If you provided that Russian fella with all that, he could be probably the same good as Ken Block after some training.



Also show me when Ken Block won any WRC rally?

SouperComputer

The video is more about poor risk assessment skills imo. There's really nothing there you couldn't teach an average Joe to do, it's more the risks the guy takes (with other peoples well-being and lives) that set him apart and that's not something to be respected IMO. I'm all for heavily spirited driving, but you have to mindful of your surroundings.

Ken Block's stuff belongs in movies more than anything else. Never been that impressed with the driving, the shot composition and whatnot is top class though.

Since when was an E34 M5 Scrap metal? Talk about trying to make a point and shooting yourself in the foot LOL.

OldmanMondeo

Good driver? No.

Lucky fool? YES.

CiniO

Heh the guy below has got probably similar or better skills, but he's using them during rallies - not in city traffic.

He got very popular few years ago for showing off on rallies in his fiat 126

Some very good driving there, by all those drivers that avoided an accident with that asshole.

Sobanek

Good driving alright, but he's a tool.

looks a bit staged to me:

1. no other driver appears to react
2. no horn blowing or nothing
3. city traffic is very nicely spaced - how often can you even think about weaving in and out like that in normal traffic - invariably end up stuck behind something
4. And how about the shots taken from the front - there's one in particular wher he's weaving in and out of the lanes - which means the guy with the camera is doing exactly the same in front of him -
5. Also - all the other traffic appears to be driving at a very consistent speed - leaving the right gaps for the guy
To be honest it's like a bunch of lads said hey lets get up at 4 in the morning and block a road and do this stuff for youtube.

I dunno - might be completely wrong - but it's all bit clean and easy looking.

Lawless2k12

Right... that's it... I'm going to Russia and opening up a tyre garage! Seems like there's plenty of money to be made from the amount of rubber being left on the roads

daRobot

A fat, bald, overcompensating ape.

He would have binned it, at 7 mins in behind that 7 series, had the oncoming driver not stopped.

A total and utter f*cking bellend.

This. Absolutely spot on. He makes drifting looking good. But its not really all that skilful. Bit of practise and you'll be just as good. Do the same thing on the tight upper sections of Monaco, and your a dead man. Theres a huge difference between what Ken Block does and the likes of Seb Loeb.

Having worked in TV and actually met Ken in LA last year, TV makes everything look awesome. Size, scale and speed are all magnified and glorified in post production. Don't believe everything you see on TV.

Because it's Russia.
People don't react to such thing, firstly because it's common, and secondly because reacting is initiating road rage which might end up very bad in Russia (I assume this after looking at some road rage russian compilations)

3. city traffic is very nicely spaced - how often can you even think about weaving in and out like that in normal traffic - invariably end up stuck behind something

You can see roads are much wider and traffic is not that intensive as in Dublin.

4. And how about the shots taken from the front - there's one in particular wher he's weaving in and out of the lanes - which means the guy with the camera is doing exactly the same in front of him -

True - surely he must have few supporters

I think you are wrong.
No way all this traffic was staged.

He had more interest in publicising himself over the internet than respect for innocent peoples lives on the road by driving so recklessly.It's a blessing that he died before he could hurt anyone else due to his stupidity.

All im saying is that it's a bit harsh to be saying "good riddance" about a 26 year olds death - yes he was reckless (also extremely skilled) but as it stands he has never killed, hurt or injured anybody ... whether it was only a matter of time pr not is only speculation, so "good ridance" is a bit harsh imo. especially since he wasnt even driving (he probably wouldnt have crashed had he been)

fixed your post.

your doing your level best to condone his actions. he drove like an absolute tit in ridiculous circumstances. the line between extremely skilled and an extreme asshole is a very fine one in those circumstances.

obviously death is a very unfortunate thing, very sad and all the rest, but if there ever was a man shouldn't be on public roads it was quite possibly him. despite the unfortunate way he was removed from them, it is possibly for the greater good that he is no longer around to endanger lives with no regard whatsoever.

Those two terms doesn't contradict each other.
He could have been both - skilled and asshole.

IMO he was very well skilled when I look at it now.

Toyotafanboi

he was **** lucky not skilled.

if at any point he hit an oil slick and spun out, or a child ran out after a ball and was killed people on here would be damning him to the final degree for his insane actions but because he was fortunate enough to never mess up in what were inexcusably wreckless circumstances he is "skilled".

joke shop this is.
