A nice video and the pace it appeared to show in the corners was impressive, although I appreciate that this can be fudged a little.

I have read the blog a few times. Thanks for the reminder as I'd not been on there for a little while.

Sorry but must have a quick Brag, My youngest son Brad started with Mclaren early Nov has only been in UK for a couple of weeks since then, Rest of time with this car in Spain and Italy. Very intense testing program 24/7, He is behind the wheel in the 1st clip going into and out of the tunnel. Goodwood promo clip giving Jenson a brief.
Sounds like a great job, and it is, he is living his dream, but heck he has to earn it

brag away mate that is a cool job or should i say way of life as the dedication to a project like this is probably second to none.

please ask him if he would be so kind as to sign up on here and see if he could pop along to one of the meets with one i'll treat him to pie and chips:), alright that last bit might have been slightly optimistic of me but it would be nice to here from Brad :thumbs:

Brad has posted on here while working on an interesting fast road car project in Norfolk but that folded, One for the weekend will never happen (would be nice) Brad is ocasionally seen with my Caterham R400 at Snett putting in a few fairly impressive laps, or at least far quicker than mine.

I think Jase meant the bit about him buying the pie and chips being optimistic :D

Good to hear Brad's doing alright for himself Gerry. Let's hope he'll come down to earth long enough to get a chance tp post on here again. :thumbs:
