Works fine here.

Was surprised how much the 458 moves around vs GT3 . Taking into account monkeys exceptional driving skills, I reckon a few drivers could get themselves in trouble with the donkey on wet roads .

GT3 does seem a bargain for the money though.

Oh and Harris needs to wear same colour t-shirts to keep continuity in the GT3 vid wink

Great stuff, the usual balanced and insightful commentary by Chris, combined with some shouty - but fitting - over excitedness.
Just fantastic footage and more precise drifting than a Ken Block vid - watching the slo-mo of the Speciale's tyre side walls flexing and the plexiglass engine cover wobbling as it oversteered over the saw tooth curbing was particularly nice.

And finally:

When talking about his Zebra footed driving partner - "Come on Mauro, it's faster through here ya big shandy"

Great work Chris and co.

Very good video - I'm seriously tempted to pick up a Speciale and run it for 12 months whilst I decide what 'hyper' toy to get next. It just looks ridiculously exploitable!

loved that video, the Speciale is THAT much fun on the road too, it's so easy to feed in a little throttle and get the tail loose through your favourite set of twisties. The noise is great and the whole experience is nuts. I cant wait to get my one back out of storage in March/April when the road are clear up here.

I think you've just sold it to me. As much as I love my F40 and GTR...neither are 'easy' to play with like that on the road. The GTR doesn't really want to...and the F40 wants too a little too much to be safe!

Hmmmmmmm...
