is that jamie filming in the passenger seat?
I'm surprised to hear him saying 'fucking hell'... he seemed cool as a cucumber when he was drifting my s2000 around estates
- shame too much traffic / crashes... would've been great to see what it did.
How did Jamie do in it? he's fairly handy behind the wheel himself (or does he not know the ring that well?).

Paul,
This was jamies first trip to the ring, think the best he did was 8.46 with 2 stops due to accidents. it is his voice you hear from the passenger seat yes.
OJC, Dale is writing a bit in performance car mag about the focus, also i asked him to write a little something for our site so ill find out how he thinks it compares to the R26R.

Went to ring few years ago with the Subaru club, with dad unfortunatly i cant afford one lol, the reason we got told camera's were banned is for safety, so if u do crash it aint going to hit you of something, just hold it down before you set off and you get away with it though
