Concerning the technique I observed from Wagner - you just go as insanely fast as possible, slide it though the slaloms, and flick it through the turns. That's over simplified but it's the general idea. I think it's how you go from kinda fast, like us, to very fast, like them.

Unless they are driving in reverse, heaven forbid they use talent to get the job done, do tell!

Wow, way to look like a jack ***. Being shown how to take corners and stuff when you've never done it before is pretty damn helpful.

We're all friends here. I don't want to turn this in to some sort of bickering.

Yes Foley and Wagner drive different from me. The way I drive and instruct beginners to drive is to keep the car well planted and to maintain grip. The way Wagner and Foley drive is to pop and slide the car around.

I wasn't even trying to be rude, I was just saying they are fast due to skill. You guys need to calm down.
