"Dude, we could totally do that. Just last week me and Takahashi tried that in our Kishashi, though instead of Hampton Downs Circuit it was Wilshire Blvd and eventually a Denny's." - Riswick.
But really, Jonny Reid must a) trust his navigator. b) be darned good at this. c) know the track. d) have a pretty good sense for the Volvo S60. Your co-driver saying "release release release" is one thing, but doing so in a smooth, effective way is difficult in a car you can't trust.
Also, watch for Jonny to instinctively 'look' through the corners. Also, they hit 120 mph at one point.

It's totally possible if you know the track just as good as the back of your palm. I think I could do the same thing on Mulholland Drive with a copilot but safety is the only reason I would never do something like that.
