It is a G4 - that's what the title says! It is from the 750MC Roadsports series, but I have nmo idea who the 'gottagoquicker' nom de plume is?

Good driving, I can't beleive how much better the G4 was with the speed and breaking, even against the Esprit!

I know Paul Stephens was selling a track spec G4 recently (bit too nice to race, but would make an amazing track day weapon you could drive too and from the venue):

Nope - this is the track-day special that Paul Stevens convinced Ivor to build. I am not sure how many of them have been sold.

That guy at the wheel is driving only like Mark drives! If it isn't Mark, then who is it?

It also sounds gorgeous, just like Mark's.

Look at the ease it accelerates up to the other cars and easily outbreaks them - just like when I watched Mark in most of his races a few years back when he was winning races by 20 secs plus in some cases.

I think the driver is Cliff Finn, the guy who bought the G4 from Mark in 2000?

???

Was I dreaming, or did somebody post a couple of youtube links to VBH doing a piece for Top Gear on the G4.

I saw the first minute or so, and there was an older (possibly kit) G4 in yellow, and a new Dare G4 in (I think) silver.

I've searched youtube but can't find it there (have they taken it down for copyright reasons now they're google?). But I also can't find the links on here... did the author delete the post????

confused

Nope - seems Google has failed me - though now google own YouTube, I'd have thought it would be easy.

I'm normally pretty good at finding stuff too, so me giving up after 20 minutes has left me feeling deflated... still I got paid to do it - the internet at work is good

bow just look at Mark's first race in the 1.8 G4 - (the 5.06min video titled Ginetta G4)

even Schumacher doesn't go through a grid like that -

he'd have probably won if that shaft hadn't given up!

nope, but thanks for looking.

It was a farly old vid with Vicki B-H and some top gear style graphics introducing it. It was a two part piece, with a yellow older G4 and a newer silver G4... after that I don't know as I was at work when it was posted, and I kept forgetting to look for it again to watch it before the post (and the vids from the looks of it) were deleted

Really? rolleyes

More like 'they' don't want you to see just how BIG the grin was on VBH's face when she got behind the wheel of that G4.

Throughout the drive in the G4 VBH could hardly contain herself and at the end of the clip she was so overcome that she blurted out...

'I WANT TO DRIVE IT HOME!'

yikes

Whoooa. We can't have this! censored

Not to worry. It was all put to right by the pc brigade when she later was let loose in the DZ -
This time she was boxedin to grimace at the end and almost as if words had been put into her mouth, she slowly uttered the following:

'I'd rather have a Lotus Elise'.
