    I went off them having seen it at FCS, but that makes me want one even more. I wish I had his drifting skillz as well. :(

    Yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment in the flesh, but I reckon it'll be a great drive. From what I've read (seen now seen ), it looks quite oversteery

    very slidey on the back isnt it - and look how far the clutch pedal is away from the brakes - i like it !

    think PGTI should get hold of one and do a test .

    It has a proper complement of pedals as well, with a lower and wider accelerator for H&T. Gutted I can't do Oulton or Brands now. :(

    Looks like maybe the wider track over the mk1 and 2 allows for more controlled drifts. Or we all lack talent of course.

    I read somwhere, it has gone back to torsion beam/trailing arm just like the mk1s. Whereas the mk2s have some other rear set-up. If that is right, I would think it would be a more forgiving oversteerer than the mk2s. Sort of like a fatter Williams/16V.

    Although it looks gay i think the boys on top gear and 5th gear will give this a good review. Looked very stable for a fwd car being drifted lol

    I'm pretty sure mk2s are also trailing arm torsion beam setup.
