Vauxhall are a little bit silly for giving him that VXR then aren't they?
Set themselves up for bad publicity.

Im sorry, i forget EVERYONE knows how to drive on track don't they... Damn, didn't think some people like reading and learning on here.

There is reading and learning and there is stating the obvious. Slow in, fast out, only muppets like Claire F would struggle with that concept.

cant afford a turbo.
Has an Astra VXR ever been driven round the top gear track? Cant see it on the list, VXT did 1.31.3. Itrestingly thats 3 tenths faster than an nsx type R.
Snetterton isd a proper power circuit tho, i bet you wouldnt be getting held up as much round Oulton or Brands.

Errr, held up for the first half, not till we're out of the chincane i can get on the power.
You never got anywhere near him, you were braking later into corners then not having any momentum coming out them and he was pulling away on straights and this guy is the rookie driver, imagine a half decent one

went to look at one last night, getting in is not so hard, getting out without using your face on the ground is tough. It was red, 40k miles and had different brakes, suspension and exhaust £10k. It was a complete dog tbh but it did look pretty. i dont even like red cars
