I watched it tonight in the hope that the coverage of the Caterham might be of interest. I'd heard that Drivel had improved of late - what tosh. Mike Brewer pratting about for 20 mins in a Caterham then reckons he's learned loads and is a racing driver. Then they go on to recommend a brake upgrade if you're going to do a track day. Surely that's a bit of a sweeping statement. And £50 for a helmet - don't they value their heads? The culmination was a ride test for convertibles in which they drove along a cobbled street with a large jelly on Penny Mallory's lap and watched how much it wobbled. Save us from this DRIVEL!

And the price of a brake upgrade - £45, yeah right. That would just about cover a set of max power stickers for the calipers.

I loved the bit where, after thrashing the caterham around the track, he stops and pulls the handbrake on hard, complete with the horrible ratcjet clater from someone who doesnt know how to use a handbrake properly.... even the max power boys know not to do that.......
