So, in fact, the RRS can actually go round corners. Why then, do i encounter so many of them on the wrong side of the road on smallish A or B roads at the slightest sign of a corner...........
That mirrors my experience. They are a bloody liability driven quickly with other vehicles around. Have you noticed the tendency to straight line roundabouts too?[quote=Max_Torque]So, in fact, the RRS can actually go round corners.

Usually because the driver is wearing heals or doing a Gillian Taylforth. It might also be down to the 30 prifle tires and chrome spinners de lads put on em as well.
Well done RR. Start the ball rolling with a competitor to zer ringen.
I would love to see one round Brands Hatch.

Ideal lines in an RRS are a joy to do
No doubt, as they are in many vehicles. I don't have a problem with that when the roads are empty but do take exception to having to make allowances when I'd like to overtake or stay in my own lane without having to use a verge or test my brakes!There is an aerial video of part of the run which makes it all look remarkably uneventful.

It is said that there will be other runs to demonstrate the new RRS. Presumably they will include a lap of the Ring and, for lovers of gravel, a rally stage (somewhere in the UK?)

I think all the SUV participants should rock up over a long weekend. Lambo with their new one (perhaps an LM02 aswell for fun/comparison) BMW with an X5/X6M, a Raptor, Bowler EX, Mercedes ML63, Jeep SRT8... I'm gettin' in to this!
The LM002 would run out of fuel half-way up. Then break downI've driven one. They're rubbish!

I followed a RRS down a winding road once, and from my perspective it looked pretty uneventful as well. Made me wonder if actually it's a very comfy (and not slow) cross country machine, contrary to some opinion.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5s27WbDHFY
