A lot better than the 'Hammond is a child and he broke his toy' item that Top Gear did. Tanner Foust sure knows his driving a lot better than the UK presenters. Only found it strange that he took of his shoes? Is the footwell in the M600 so cramped that you don't have space for shoes?

Which episode ?

[vincegail]

Season 2 - Episode 16. Directly ffwd to 12:30 because the rest of the episode is a load of bks.

Worked for me too.

I thought it was a pretty good article. The chap can obviously drive and seemed to get what the M600 is all about. I agreed with most of what he said, except that in my experience of VMax, the way the bend is taken has little bearing on the top speed obtained.

Not for me, although I do have small feet and drove it in high heels. Maybe his shoes had a thick sole?

I already downloaded it of course, but still wanted to watch/share the Youtube clip. It worked just fine now!

[JulesBliss]

Was it filmed at Bruntingthorpe? All looked familiar including the Jag fighter jet!?

Edit. D'oh. Should have watched it all the way through to see the large Bruntingthorpe sign!

Thanks for doing that

The guy can certainly drive, 110MPH drifting

[Gadgeroonie]

wow 215 mph

that must be some kind of record for brunters

he sure was breaking into a sweat driving the Noble but loving it too

It could be the fastest stock production car that didnt crash, all the speeds are on the Vmax section

[vincegail]

Was that 215 mph on the speedometer, or GPS verified? Surely a few miles must be deducted when it was done on the speedo. (not out to bash the M600, just being realistic)

[Inflict]

I was lucky enough to be there on the day.

I think I still have some bad iphone footage of some of the other drifts...

I'll try and dig the clips out.
