Rapid stuff. What brakes does it have? It looks like he was able to brake a bit later than most of the other stuff, but this might have been down to the fact he was chaning a group of cars.

That is very fast indeed.. Fair play, though in not keen on aggressive harassing driving on track, if a car has no ware to go then there fooked if they make a mistake, the civic was doing a classic example of this...

looks like it would upset a few cars on the road and track!

got to agree with scott the guy driving it does drive like a tit!
just shared this video with my mate on facebook he used to love his metros, he'll love this video.
does well to get past the elise imo. great video.
