that would be good.

The point I was making was the difference in experience level at each circuit.

I realise that,but in a van would be good,as said be interesting to see sabine do a lap in guys van but geuss that wont be happening. mores the pity.

I watched the Guy Martin program and enjoyed it but it did highlight just how crazy Sabine's lap was. I think she did 10.08 or something like that but she did it in a standard diesel van that they taken every bit of excess weight off, no helmet and a normal tourist day.I loved her running commentary, "ABS gone,No brakes,Engine light on" Guy was running with 750bhp mid mounted engine and the track to himself. I reckon she could put his van round in under 9mins easy but she's 50K laps and he's probably done 50

I wonder how many of the "Power Rangers" on their sportsbikes told their mates they'd been overtaken by a Transit van on the ring?

At least if Sabine was doing the programme I could have understood her, with Guy I keep threatening to put the sub titles on

Not always necessary because he mostly repeats what he says multiple times, so you get more than one go to guess what he's saying.

And just to make sure, the programme editor makes sure you hear the same thing over and over

That really winds me up and it's becoming common practice. I wonder if it's for the American audience where they have advert breaks every few minutes and need to remind you what's happening when you come back in case you've been distracted by something shiny whilst they were away. I rarely watch anything live now - even if I spot something on now that I like the look of I'll hit record and watch something I've recorded earlier or go and do something else for half an hour just so that when I do start watching I've built up enough of a buffer that I can fast forward through the adverts.
