Love the last 10 seconds as he takes the long right hander, the putside back wheel slides down the banking but the Application of more throttle and the old girl easily pulls herself clear. Awesome.

None of the new stuff does anything for me at all.

What we have here is an "old" 10 valver still giving the goods in a manner with the soundtrack that the pretenders can only dream of.
Sure they might be more fancy with their ayc, abs, Tc, efi and all that stuff but they lack the soul the old girl has in spades.

If they offered me one of the new breed of rally cars vs the old quatt I'd take the four rings anyday of the week.
Its got style, class and a soundtrack to die for.

The trouble is, it becomes compulsive viewing! Nice to see one of the current drivers appreciating it and driving it to the limit.
