Thats one way to drive at Austin, Texas
The snow driving is at the RB Ring in Austria. I agree on the snowy traction, but with snow tires you can have that kind of grip. Braking and traction appeared too be stronger than real life though.
EDIT; after careful evaluation of that snow driving footage, i think it is pretty good. The driver carefully avoids high revs and therefore spinning tires. He does so at the end and immediately loses control of the car. Also braking is applied with little force. Driving a Caterham in the snow is a tricky adventure anyway.
