Whoa, talk about a narrow track... altho it did seem like he could have been staying on the gas longer and braking later for a lot of those turns... maybe you just lose the feeling of acceleration without an audio track (such as the engine reving, missing with the brakes)

I can hear it fine? You're probably still right, he coulda pushed it harder to get it into third on at least one of the corners - but Harewood is apparently notorious for getting the gearing right.

i was saying that you could hear the acceleration, but the deceleration you cant so it loses some of the effect when watching it in video

There's a few of them, but http://www.zcars.org.uk/ are probably the best at it.

EDIT: Looks like the site is down, it's happened before, so might be a few days.

It was cool to see how easy it seemed to handle. One of those cars that goes exactly where you want it to in a turn.
