Luca, any chance you could get these up on sleepyfish.com just in case they're removed from the current server?

Place your bets now......although the results may surprise you.

Cue smug Tamora owners..........

Argh, didn't have a Codec player so all I could get was the sound! Anyway, fixed that by getting the right download and when the clips appeared all i can say is... OH MY GOD !!! If this is japanese Top Gear then I am moving to Japan! The first driver was drifting that Tamora like nothing I have seen before, public roads too! But the third link is the best, all of them on a test track with the Type R giving the TVRs a head start! I won't spoil it but it was well worth the download! Can't wait for the rest of the links - have u got a link to the japanese website?

C'mon chuck - how did you view the video, I had an error with the codec aswell.

Ok, here's what you do:

www.divx.com/divx/?src=toptab_divx_from_/index.php

download the free STANDARD player (without the ads) and install it. Then you should see the clips on ReelPlayer.

easy when u know how eh!?

cheers Tamago - don't suppose you can translate the script for us can you..

what happened to the Black Tamora??? - edited to say beaten to it!! - I guess it would have won comfortably had that not happened... is this typical of a Tamora (beating a Cerb & Tuscan on track??)

unfortunatley the Tamora didn't manage to finish, in first place was the Type R, in second was the Tuscan (it wasn't an "S" though...) and the Cerbie followed about a car length later...

did anyone think the simultaneous camera shots showing the tachometer / drivers braking, heeling and toe-ing etc around the track was a fab idea??

Anyway, for anyone who is interested, the Type R starts about 4 car lengths behind the 3 TVRs (which are level). Tamora races off and then the Cerb and then Tuscan in third, at the first corner the Tam takes it easily and the other three bunch up...after the first lap the Type R just passes the Tuscan and Cerb, and gets second place.

Meanwhile the Tusc overtakes the Cerb on a corner (nice tailout action) at which point the Tam loses its bolt and had to pull out of the race ... the Type R overtakes it, lovely V-tec action at 7-9000rpm and the red shift up lights blinking furiously!!!

In the final lap the Type R heads off and the Tuscan follows with the Cerb closly in behind...

Footage ends with all the drivers talking about the pros and cons of each of the cars but they are all quite exhilarated about the TVRs!
