I'm pretty sure in England, on a "top speed" day, the rules are "go out and see how fast your car goes".

Brits aren't pussies like we are... they don't sue everyone within 3 miles when something goes wrong during an activity that's obviously inherently dangerous, like seeing how fast your 500hp EVO can go.

For a moment, I was wondering why the driver only had one hand on the wheel was filming with one hand. Then I realized it was a RHD car

Where in the heck is the rear facing camera? The perspective makes it look like it is a foot off the front cowl, so why can't you see it in the forward facing view?

I was thinking the same thing... and you never see the wing-cam tilted down from the cowl cam... perhaps it's actually two different flights spliced together?

Also, I was going to guess that's from L.A. (like San Pedro, or thereabouts), but the site they listed is super Japanese... where was that filmed?

It is only one camera in fact.
And Blue Screen composition is not used.
I think it is spliced. More info on the web site. www.cue-air.com

That car is too light and sticky for suspension that stiff. It probably handles great at slower speeds, but when speeds come up, momentum could roll it. We've had cars at autocross because of sticky tires, low weight, and no suspension travel...

There's no reason for 1200 lb/in springs on a 1300 lb car... in fact, the car is probably slower because of the over-stiff springs... at least at higher speeds. On a race track, that car would spend a lot of time in the gravel, IMO.

But, if that were a dedicated autocross car that never saw above 65 mph, it'd probably dominate.

This one is mostly for Tyson because he said he's never seen the show. This is just a clip of the actual show.

Now this is a spoof and it's freakin hilarious.
