This cracking car show celebrates all that is fast, rare and sexy, and winding through the Cholmondley country estate where the annual event is held, is this slim and twisting ribbon of tarmac where records are rapidly chased every year.Well, this snarling Radical smashed the track record, setting a fastest time through the hair-raising course of just 55.29s. The video speaks for itself, but it’s fair to say that man (Robbie Kerr) and machine are in perfect harmony here, and its a joy to watch. The way this thing flicks through the chicane beggars belief – it’s out of shape but always in control.
