It's on the TV right now.
As said, the R5 bit's over. Wasn't great, just a raider (I think?) losing round a track to a twingo renaultsport cup.

tbh i think the 5 would have clearly beat the twingo hands down if...
1- if it wasnt wet
2- if he could drive the car
3- if it was expendable
my mate met the owner at a rtoc meet...lovely car
twingo looks and is just shite IMO...wierd how like 20 years pass and the cars seem to have got shitter and shitter can...worms

Missed the start, but if Jason Plato was driving the GTT - he's a touring car driver that came 3rd in the btcc last year if I'm not mistaken?

And 'very thin rubber' or something was said. Plato said if it had some decent tyres it'd be much closer.

he said it had old rubber, I gues sthe owner has the original rubber from the 80's on there so it's gonna be a old fashioned tread pattern

Missed the first part so trying to watch it, stupid Five website just keeps buffering and you never get a smooth picture.
The closest I can find to a link to the video in the page's source code is "var wmpUrl = '/handlers/AsxPlaylist.ashx?baseName=C5143730002';" without the quote marks, and that's not much use without the first part of the link.
Edit: Cracked it For people using FireFox (I find Five Demand thing only works in IE): http://demand.five.tv/handlers/AsxPlaylist.ashx?baseName=C5143730002 Click that

Sure he mentioned 'tall' or 'thin', but same difference.

The problem is with the old R5 wheels is that the profile is 185/55/13 or something and there is probably next to no tyre options for it.
