Like the second picture, and the third one. Love the variety of cars they have there, something for everyone.

Watched this today on You Tube wishing I was there.

And Mr Hoy, well I watched one of his previous days runs and he nearly went of then so a bit more bravado led to the bent car.

Actually I was surprised at the number of cars that went off there as it's not like no one knows what's coming up.

I would have liked Loeb to have a go at the hill record but despite him being fastest on Saturday I don't see him taking 5 seconds off his time, but then he might surprise us!!

You got the Chris Hoy shunt nicely.
The TV coverage didn't show the car afterwards, but I could see the windscreen was broken, so the damage must have been extensive.
That was a £125,000 Nismo special edition of the GTR - very embarrassing.

My son had a ride as a passenger in the other "Time Attack" GTR on Friday, which set FTD for the Supercar class on Saturday with Jann Mardenborough at the wheel.

The special "wallpaper" wrap is supposed to make it difficult to photograph, which may be true, since this was sharp, but the next shot fooled my AI Servo focus and is a little "off."

I think that Drifting is one of the most pointless forms of "motor sport" but I must say this guy put on an entertaining show.
