Have you been to Oz? Ohh, the long winding coast roads 
You're right they're not like our roads; in a mile here you'll see two kamakazee cats, four blind fiesta drivers, fifteen assorted rep-mobiles, a handful of 4x4 clad school-run bound mums, a dozen articulated lorries, three caravans, ten potholes, a couple of drains, three diesel spills and twenty pounds of cow shit left by a tractor! |

The people riding them on the DVDs have undoubtedly ridden them more than a few times before, so know exactly what the roads are going to do. Of course, they're probably being too reckless to consider whether there's cow shit, a parked car, tractor, whatever just around the blind bend, but I shouldn't have though they would just fly into an unknown road getting knee down.
The thing to do it is just to try them, there's no need to try to go super quickly when you don't know the roads, if anything I'd say that'd be counter productive and risky. Just take them at your own pace, I'm sure you know the feeling coming out of a corner and realising you could have gone far faster; it's much better than that where you have the realisation that you're going far too quickly in the corner...
Corners mmm, goood. That's partly because I can't go any faster than 60mph of course though.
