Piece in mag about it

Genuine

[Hollowpockets]

Autocar aren't exactly in the business of making bullst video's, I've no doubt it's genuine, in the wet my A3 is faster cross country than my noble.

I really like that A1

I'm not saying they are. However, that video gave me the impression they had a story to write and wanted a video to go with it.

That is down to tyres 100%

[M1KEY]

Can see how the A1 would be quicker on a wet, twisty track but surprised at how easily the GTR goes sideways with what appears to be not that much throttle given the 4WD & electronics etc.

[R1Mark]

Yep, GTR's can be tail happy especially when its wet or cold and when wet and cold there is little grip at all.

I've been on track in the wet in a Caterham R500 unable to keep up with ... well anything actually. I could have walked it faster. Every Scooby in the world passed me. Way too much power for the weight, and being the wrong tyres - nightmare.

In the dry... nothing ever, ever, ever passed me. (And I'm a self confessed crap driver).

It's not really that suprising that a 500+HP Goliath is slower 'round a wet go kart track than an A1 is it?

I heard that, apparently, a modern F1 car can't beat a Land Rover across a field either?
