On the road, a complete nightmare! Seats give me a numb bum, and the drone that echoes throughout the cabin is pretty horrific.

On the track however its a great improvement over the standard car, I think the LSD has alot to do with it. The handling is so positive, I really tried to emphasize this rather than chucking money at the engine, and it shows, especially on the smaller circuits. Its so much fun to hoon about, I enjoy embarrasing the more powerful cars. My dad hates the fact im always quicker on track than him in my little 106, despite the fact he has more straight line speed!

Its Camp corner, because of the grid markings on the way out! If that makes any sense!?

Yeah thats camp, and yeah I held it! I didnt even lift off, the track was damp from rain in the morning and it just stepped out when I turned in. Was very satisfying. I saw the photographer who took the pics on my way past, he was frantically punching the air like id just won a race!
