Don't know corner names there but I assume it was the big handfull of opposite lock at close on 100mph !

Impressive drive.

You REALLY have to hope that the other drivers are watching their mirrors when you're passing them at 100mph faster than they're doing!

And he did have a moment at 6'30" into the video, didn't he!

He is a skilled non-professionist driver, very often at the Ring. He suposedly is the same person that sat the ring record in the Caterham R500.

Available for sale, if u have spare of 170.000 dollars..."

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Thats mad!
I love the T70 its on my wish build list.
I does worry me though as Im going to the ring and the speeds that that is going you could check your mirrors a hundred times and still not see that coming. I want to spend my time going round concentrating on looking forwards not backwards otherwise I will make a mistake!!





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Please read my ring story:

Just drive predictably, not changing lines suddenly etc. The vast majority of crashes at the ring are either because of people driving beyond their ability and crashing on their own, or people moving across the track unpredictably.

Outstanding, love the fact that toward the end of the clip, he checks his mirrors just incase there is something faster coming
