Hard to tell, but the initial turn-out and acceleration from
the driveway didn't seem to be allowing much for the possibility of
unexpected oil slick, traction loss, etc.
Also hard to tell, but when getting around a right-turning
cage, he didn't seem to allow much room for an emergency stop if the
cage did something unexpected, like stop.
