Nicky Hayden is the 2006 MotoGP world champion, suggesting that on two wheels at least, he possesses an immodest level of skill and proficiency.
He recently paid a visit to Mercedes-Benz's DTM team to see if he could transpose these immodest skills into a racing C-Class AMG; an AMG with a very wide track, a very shiny body, a very loud 470bhp V8 and a very low tolerance of failure.
David Coulthard was on hand to show him a few laps, and then Nicky was left to discover what an oversteery Merc feels like on full attack mode. You can see how he fared in the video below...

Not really surprised to be honest since driving a bike and a car like that are two very different experiances and take different amounts of skill. But fair play to him for trying :) Btw FIRST!!...I Had To -_-

Kilkelly899 and Mars72. You would be surprised how good some of the riders are with cars. Rossi was so good he was linked to a drive with Ferrari.

There's been a fair number of cases of Bike racers switching to cars and being quite successful (see: Brian Deegan) A racer is a racer. It's a matter of practise I guess
