Great video Is the the speed in kph? and secondly did you get to speak to the guy in the M6? If so I bet he was very surprised to have a diesel on his tail all the way!

Here's the first lap. 2nd lap to follow: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...23061180104516
Absolutely stunning

Few questions:

1. How is this done - presumably you have some diagnistic kit attached to your car - graphics for acceleration/ braking / left / right are brilliant as is the ring diagram - looks like playstation

2. Presume the numbers on the right are miles per hour - think I saw 133 plus at one point.

3. What does the number on the left (500) mean ?

4. Who was driving the M6? - it clearly had the edge when accelerating out of corners, but you kept catching him on the bends - is that just cause you are a better driver or know the circuit better ?

Fabulous stuff - really great

Great Steve! Good run, but let's be honest the guy in the M6 either didn't want to push it that much, or didn't know the track that well or lacked skill or smth...Either way good run...and another proof that the diesel doesn't sound as diesel anymore.
