I'm sure if you replace the rear wheels with bricks will do the trick! Or just saw it in half! :lol: :lol:

Indeed.

However - you show me a FWD car accelerating round a 3gear corner while maintaining a drift without the use of the handbrake and I will consider using one !!!

No need to use a handbrake - just have a big lift off - back end will come round a treat and floor it again (just before you plough through a large amount of the local scenery) :lol:

I wrote my first car off practicing lift off oversteer at 80mph when I was 18 as it goes !!!

All the momentum and power in the world wouldnt get you round Luffield 1 & 2 sideways in a FWD though !!!

Bladey, were you at silverstone in June 06 and October 05 (when the D1GP boys came over for the exhibition match)?

If you were..I MAY have a picture of your car...

I'm going through my 2005 pictures...did you make it into the last 16?

I've lost my pictures from 2006...I'll have to grab a copy from my friend again.

2005

I was just an organiser/spectator that year. We were the one who brought the Japs over in the first place !!!

2006

I qualified in 22nd place. Two months later at Silverstone I qualified 9th and would have gone against them !!! Ho hum !!!

Does that mean we saw your mug on Top Gear once??! Or maybe on the Option DVD for the preview/promo of the Silverstone debut??!

Oh one other thing, re they coming over again this year...? Last year was timed badly.
