I doubt that there is any single piece of the streaming video from in the footwell that directly connects with the footage out the windscreen, but to watch all of this going on is flat AMAZING.

Watch his right foot. You're seeing downshifts (matching revs), upshifts, and throttle steering (managing oversteer/understeer to rotate the car and power through those corners).

Left foot braking is employed to slow the car, or to balance the car in corners (transfering weight forward to rotate, etc).

Any time someone says that driving in low coefficient conditions is easy, this is a clip to recall as you say "Ya, sure!"
