The car was only running on 15 valves due to a broken rocker, so was no where near running at its optimum. ;)
Looking at the video it appears that the car needs some setting up with regard brake bias and possibly suspension settings, seems fidgety at the rear.

I expect he will have a bias pedal box, which he has set too much one way or the other, they are very difficult to set right, and every time he takes the car out it will need tinkering with....

everyone saying he is not pushing the car............................

he spun it so he was pushing it i think, if he was not pushing it he wud not have spun!! just think brakes look shocking, the other cars that are going round are braking latter and look stable

I couldn't see the creators letting someone who "can't drive" take it on track.

The car obviously has a lot of power and needs some adjustments to the brakes.

As has been said, since it's a one off they won't want to push it, plus knockhill looks like a very bumpy circuit which won't help with the balance of the car.

Give it time and some more testing and I'm sure it'll be a lot faster and smoother.

its a show 'track car', they made it just to show what they can do. It will only ever be used properly if someone buys it and doesnt care about the risk of smashing it up

I dont think that car will ever get used properly on track for that exact reason.

Think they need to adjust the brakes, etc to suit his driving style - that and more driving practise

he can hardly use the brakes cos they are so unstable!!!!!

pretty amazing really, u wud not expect that of a car made by them and to such high standard u wud think!!!

he was getting out braked by other cars, sure this has some amazing brake set up also worth alot of thousands

tbh the driving is shakey
