i was pissed of last year when he at brands hatch indy circuit pushed curtis hayles of in the viper then blamed him the checky git, there was no space for him on the inside line but he pushed in and pushed hayles of into the gravel

thats the hayles Viper which was being lapped at the time and shown a blue flag to let the Tuscan R through when it was having a ding dong battle for the lead with the 996 GT3 RS of kelvin burt.

The GTO hayles viper was suffering badly as a roadblock for most of last year. IT was frequently a lap down and seemed to have piss poor visibility given it frequently failed to get over when being lapped and held up the faster GTO cars.

Take rockingham as an example where the driver would not get over and ended up spoiling the GTO leaders race. By holding up the Tuscan R for over a lap and then dropping oil on the track.

I hate Vipers they are crude and a dog to drive. There was one at rockingham with a bumper sticker that read 'at 200mph you have no friends', we thought this would be best supplemented with either 'you have no friends anyway' or '200mph my arse'
