I remember listening to Jim at a talk years ago where he recounted a moment on a Targa Tassie stage where he realised he was going well over 200, and all of a sudden the trees seemed very close to the road. He backed off, down to 170ish and continued on for a little bit before realising that a crash at that speed would still be fatal, and that he was losing time by going slowly. So he got back on it and tried not to think of the consequences.
