Thanks for sharing.

It's great to see such a lovely car (and valuable) being used in anger. Some good drifting in there too. What an epic hillclimb route!

Great video

I wondered that too! Maybe the glove is folded over for an extra bit of padding to help with a heavy gear change.

Good spot! I'd agree with that theory, on the assumption it had an uprated box?
