Hope this isn't a repost

That first right hander you can see some of the 'contribution' to the turn in that the marketing guy was talking about the rear making.

Lifts a wheel at 8 seconds in.

Also from 0:30 just looks well on the road driving normally.

They look really good to be honest, when the D came out I wasn't the biggest fan of the looks, but when I saw the VXR I loved it straight away!

Its just Graffiti mate, as the track is so large and runs through the countryside theres no security, so the locals, tourists and anyone else with some paint and a brush leave their mark on the track.

Its just part of the "Ring" experience. Uh Err
