Having watched the whole thing, it wasn't really a true 9:14...he could have easily eaked a bit more out of it, especially if no one had held him up.
Ratios seem quite short though, maybe it's a 1.6GTi box? It's whining whatever it is! And not sure if it's just me, but was he short shifting the whole time?
Really gotta do it now, but I'm not gonna actually go for a time, as I would bin it.

The track always looks like a walk in the park when seen from inside a super sports car, but watching this shows just how difficult it really is andthe BX is no slouch, especially with all the sliding about and moving obstacles. Better find myself a cheap PS3 and a copy of Gran Turismo and get learning!

There might be a problem with that Simran, GranTourismo3 has at least 4 corners that you can cut across the grass, but the real circuit is full of armco! Certainly with the Volvo 240 its quicker to cut the corners, in the game.

That's why Forza 3 is for winners, although I'm not sure if they've got rid of the grass of the outside of the Carousel yet!

Maybe this week's show is different
