Isn't it a miracle that no one died.

Certifiable, the lot. Surprised no prangs happened, as all of em seemed to be going by that "drive/ride it like you stole it" mantra.

I didn't think it was bad enough, to warrant that!

What speed was that traffic doing. He "slows down" to the traffic speed a few times and I never see the speedo go less than 140kph!

Brazilian motorway speed limit is 120kmh but I guess that has some 'flexibility'. Some of the small cars that are being passed still appear to be going pretty quick (compared to the R8's indicated speed).

We soon learned that 70mph wasn't sufficient to be maintaining a 'fast lane' presence when we did the UK trip last year. Try that and you very quickly have cars flashing their lights behind you before they head past at 100mph (160kmh+), and it was commonly a Merc, Audi, Range Rover or something exotic. Bike don't bother to flash, they usually just filter.

Video was definitely OTT. Passenger not impressed

Looked like somebody with an R8 and an out of control ego. The bikes didn't appear to be racing him, it's all in his (giant) head. Shame he didn't crash killing himself and his passenger.

Jeepers that could have gone horribly wrong in several places... I am obviously getting very old as I got a bit nervy more than once...

I found that 170kph in the fast lane on the Italian motorways still attracted the light flashers. They passed me like I was standing still once I pulled back in (not having slowed at all).
