Damn shame isn't it. An unenviable task trying to untangle financial shenanigans that have been years in the making.

Goodwood FoS hill has had a few PR boo boos, the Land rover that blew up its gearbox and some other supercar that I cannot bring to mind instantly.

It's infuriating that what should have been hypercar royalty is a growing joke, too many proverbial cooks.

Evija was is close proximity to the Valkyrie in today's runs and the falling out between Williams and Lotus/Geely surely has some juicey gossip?

That corner catches out a huge number of drivers. Andy Green of SSC heroics crashed a brand new XJR there a few years ago.

YouTube has hours of fails from there.

You can bake some pretty strong chocolate that will last a lot longer than 45 minutes 8-)

Regardless of the development issues I think the Valkyrie would still be where my imaginary millions would be going.

That's easy to say when they're imaginary though! :lol:

Make sure you set aside a few quid for a trailer. You will need it.
