Anybody buying one of these is going to have loads of other cars they can use for those longer trips. It was the combination of the steering busy-ness and the noise levels that I just didn't appreciate before.

I do still like that Clarkson has his opinions on stuff like this and the F1 and isn't for changing his mind easily.
Cheers,

Mike.

The noise sounds like straight cut gears. It sounds exactly like a Caterham from the inside :lol:
It doesn’t, or didn’t, it cost around £2 million, they are selling for around £5 million ‘used’. Still insane money though.

PAS mitigated the effects a little but you can't defeat physics.
The fancy uprights are a clever development for cars with McPherson struts aren't they? I'd much rather have an HPE Elise/Exige than a T50 anyway. I bet you can do one with a central driving position, not that I want that.
