What does right 5+ and left 3 minus mean? Is that like whey Peyton used to yell "Omaha!!!"?
Navigator is reading off pace notes, which are verbal shorthand to tell the driver all about the road ahead (distances, turns, flat out, jumps, bends, etc.). He's driving faster than he can see ahead, he couldn't do that without the pace notes being read to him. Notice that he blows through some blind splits in the road - incredible.

Last fall my boys and I came across footage of crashes at the Nurburgring track in Germany. It's fun to watch some of the civilian cars and bad driving. I'd love to drive the track. Rally Crash videos were suggested by the youtube so we started watching those also. It seems that most are from all over Europe and some from Argentina.
Some of the crashes that they walk away from are pretty intense. It's pretty amazing to see what these drivers and navigators do. I'd probably stroke out if I were in the passengers seat.
The description of the road, makes me think of my first time across Red Mountain Pass in Kolorado! Lots of wrecked autos off the road, 100’s of feet down, and a memorial to a snow plow that lost his life trying to open the road! Pretty intimidating but beautiful drive for a boy from Louisiana ! memtb

CW McCall wrote a song about that one.
Ben, I believe that was Wolfcreek Pass. Red Mountain Pass is between Silverton and Ouray! I never got to drive the old road across Wolfcreek Pass......the new road is a pussy cat! memtb

I assume that it applies the rear brakes, to set the car for a “power slide” through the corner! It is very beneficial with an all wheel drive or front wheel drive vehicle! memtb

Never have figured out how that doesn't bind up everything in those AWD cars????

Close. “Riveside Slide” is the one I’m referring to:
“One cold, black night of a colorado winter It snowed on red mountain pass We warned ev'rybody that the slide was runnin' An' 5-5-oh was a mess But outta the plowshed, south a' town Come a blade with a flashin' blue light We told that boy: whatever you do, Beware of the riverslide slide. . . .”
