ANy else see the new Boxster and Z4 going round Snetterton slower than most of you boys last week?
Good to see their take on it, but when they got all excited about the Boxster doing just short of 130 under the bridge, I thought to myself, should have been here last week boys!

Yeah I saw that, interesting when you know the track well you notice the piece was cut together really oddly they kept jumping round the track, repeating corenrs missing chunks out, it was quite disorientating. Good to see them at Snett though

Well to start with all the new white lines, pit lane exit etc Tiff & Jason decided to do donuts all over so that was a pointless job as we had to re do it...
They left loads and loads of donut marks all round the circuit which stood out like a sore thumb...
Lots of near misses with each other and certain fixed assets on track
One of the funniest things though was their producer came in the office to ask for a hose pipe to make the cars look "Wetter" for something even though it was raining all day! :?
Still... was fun to watch.. Its a shame though, same with Clarksons last christmas DVD which was filmed at Snett, you see the way things are filmed, and the 'actual' speeds they are doing etc.. (and the other drivers involved)... takes away everything you've ever enjoyed about watching it on TV.
