Amazing bit of car control.

Isn't driving based/graded on 'style' and opinions of the judges. Nothing at all do to do with suspension, power or if a car is road legal or not?

Well, we've found the "motorsport" I want to watch least. Cool

Prefer watching Autotesting.

Mantas Sliogeris used to compete in UK AutoSolos. Maybe he still does.

Having watched that, I don't feel so bad that he absolutely trounced me.

No, it's timed.

On a "track" like that BHP is pretty meaningless when you get to a certain point and anything over it is probably more of a hindrance than anything.

Fairly obvious it is timed too isn't it? What with you know... the clock in the corner? I think 300BHP you are thinking more of drifting.

Still its cool to see a good driver in a more standard car winning out over some big power stuff.
