A lot of noise, and a lot of motion, but he wasn't actually going particularly well. Sawing like crazy at the wheel too. Nice save at 2:48 though.

Ford Focus WRC. Despite what the video says, it's not a hill climb, it was a stage rally

That made my palms a bit sweaty watching, is that normally a 1 way road looks really narrow. Must not be in Europe somewhere?

Look at the crowd in the beginning around the 8 second mark, the spectators turning their heads back and forth in under a second kind of gives it away.
