The near-supernatural racing talent of Porsche's Kevin Estre

If you’re looking for a fun distraction that's of course racing related, search “Kevin Estre onboard” on YouTube. There you'll find a litany of videos ranging from the tens of thousands of views, to one with over 1.9 million. From the 2021 Nuburgring 24 Hours alone, there’s a wet qualifying lap where his near-supernatural car control is on full display. Another from that race replays his first two race laps, where he scythes his way through the field from 11th to 1st, dismantling the opposition. There’s also his Le Mans pole lap from last year, where right from the off, he backs his 963 into the chicane before Dunlop bridge. His movements look effortless as he reacts to each corner.  

Lap completed, the camera cuts to Estre inside the car, who looks rather calm and not as if he just put down a pole-winning lap. The commentator asks, "Wow, did he breathe, do you think, in that entire three minutes and twenty five seconds? I'm not sure he did."
