Yes, but they are not very complimentary on the 3R and M400. Despite the M400 beating the Porsche on lap times, they still seem to prefer the Porker. Something to do with driving position, cockpit fittings etc.
I have just improved the driving position on R101 by fitting a 5 cm Sparco steering wheel spacer (I am 6'4" and with the seat right back the wheel is a long way away). If you have just borrowed the factory demonstrator then it is not possible to carry out such tweaks.

Same old song as normal for them though really. They don't think the interior is up to scratch and I can't help but agree. Having said that I can see why the factory would be frustrated given the improvements made to the M400 that Phil Bennet and the evo team didn't even pick up on.

More surprised by their driving impressions though.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to fit a quick release sterring wheel fitting. Excellent theft deterent.
I've always wanted to (on other cars) but dont want the wheel any closer.
