Clearly the informed input of someone who races a 800+ bhp car.

I must say, his chassis needs to be set up a little differently, the Red Evo was catching him in the bends, and it was only the power of the car that was leaving the Red one on the striaghts.

The Norris cars don't have much luck on tracks though do they.

Was last Oct iirc and in his Evo 6 RS


YouTube - Castle Combe: Simon Norris Evo 6 RS crash
Love the comment about driving and judgement.....

Sure you could do better with no brakes and a pending corner maybe ?

I believe he was praised by officials on the day for his attempt to scrub speed in his situation....

Typical Scooby driver comment :

so i dont have the finances to crash, er i mean drive a mental power evo.. yer point is ??? as someone already pointed out the red car was all over him like a rash and the only reason he wasnt whipped was the sheer power of that car he has.. truly stonking power.. just cant drive very well imho.. i am a fan of his evo work but not his brutal driving skills, not very smooth at all and scruff of the neck stuff. he obviously cant buy racing talent .. but hey, i am no pro....and nor is he !
