That would make for a very interesting comparison with our TVRs.
Ok, you will be missing 4 cylinders, but you will also be missing a whole load of weight.
Hope you can make it, Nick.

He'll be miles ahead I'd have thought, corner speeds. Is that running slicks. Looks great.

How's his season going? Are the cojones sufficiently enlarged yet to start winning races? whistle

It is quicker than most supercars around even fast circuits, around short twisty circuits nothing much gets near it, in the wet it's devastatingly fast - at recent trip to Silverstone in the wet (with Dad on board) I was lapping Porsche GT3 RS's + other exotica every 3-4 of my own laps.

To performance this year - 7 podiums, fingers crossed Knockhill + Donington will maybe get a 1st or 2nd, but the two guys ahead of me have done 2 more seasons than I have.

It can have a passenger seat, but not during a race (adds weight!)

Tom was racing in G55 which is the big brother of the GT5, I have also raced G55 (see https://youtu.be/MX0LcfZPmsQ)

I am in the Ginetta GT5 Challenge - is support race to both British GT and BTCC, next race is @ Knockhill in support of BTCC weekend.

Top billing, top man.
I know Simon Traves and Jonny Greensmith from the Mazdas
If I can get time off I'll ask you to take a seat nearer the date Nick.
Your using telemetry I assume.
