VULCAN OWNER - FIRST TRACK DAY

[Jon39]

The owner of a white Vulcan was having fun.
Rather heavy on the throttle at corner exits!

Perhaps a £1·5 million four wheel drive rally car, might be more suited to the driving style.

(A tuition day, I understand. Were you by chance in the passenger seat Mr. Roughrider?)

Did I spot driving in the wrong direction on the circuit?

The driver seemed to be quite happy to head the wrong way around the track once the car had spun. Therefore, you can only presume that he/she also had exclusive use of the track. Silverstone would charge you £40k for that privilege so gawd knows what Yas Marina would make you pay...

I understand that there were six Vulcans there for three days.
Perhaps it was just one on track at a time, during that video.

Errrr, taking a wild guess, i suspect a journalist was at the wheel, without instruction..... Sounds awesome doesn't it?!!
I'd like to think it was the only car on circuit with the wrong direction manouevre....naughty tho!

Looks like a pretty unforgiving track to "learn" in a car of that type?

I thought this was one of the handover days for Vulcan cars. Shouldn't owners have gone through the training in a V12VS and a GT4 car before getting their hands on the Vulvan. Perhaps this guy skipped the first bits.

I think the only way a journalist will get behind the wheel is if a Vulcan owner lets them do it. Even the development car was an owner car!

An extremely good guess.

Was your clue, not once but repeatedly doing the same heavy footed corner exits?
The owner must have had 'kittens', particularly if they noticed fighting the half spin, with a concrete wall not too far out of range.

So as a Top Gear "world exclusive" suggests Ollie Marriage was the only journalist who drove it he should be ashamed to have written the piece without mention to his apparently poor driving ability.
