epic. that radical took some getting by, but not too much in the way of long straights on combe

Has improved immensely this season, been really impressed actually. Not sure if the car is better set up for Combe than his old 9 RS, or that it's done him good to move out of the Saloons and spice things up with some more varied machinery.

How many other 789bhp 4WD cars was he racing though?

Not exactly equal competition there is it. Especially on a damp track.

I wonder how well he would have done if he was driving one of those radicals?

At least they seemed to be battling each other, not just driving past down the straights on full boost.

^^^ Driving against 3 or 4 similar cars didn't seem to do him much good last season, several serious cases of red mist. Hopefully this season has calmed him down a bit, would seem so as his race craft has improved a lot.

Hopefully he will turn the boost down next year and mix it with the Exige etc, would be good to see how he copes in a proper competitive fight.

I did wonder this. Slightly top trumped. He did some funky lines into corners and hit the cones a few times, but overall he looked like he could handle himself very well.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem to bother 95% of all the other racing drivers including who compete in similar machinery.

Would be interesting to see how he does in an exige, because that bloke who overtook him in the orange one up the inside into Quarry was a legend.
