Default 8:58 saxo lap at the ring

Not the smoothest of drivers but not a bad drive. Never been to the ring but looks good fun.

Not entirely sure on the lap time.

Judging by what I've seen sitting next to (not on ) Mike on a hot lap, the boy knows his lines (bar the 33sec bit! ).

Nearly, but after living with Saxo's/106's for a while you get used to things like that

After watching the whole vid this obviously aint the chap's first lap on the ring!

Some lovely driving and despite being French and made of plastic a saxo aint a bad ring taxi,they handle well with the right setup, they go alrite and are fecking cheap as chips!

only watched the first few minutes, he seemed pretty smooth to me. Saxo's are as loose on the back end as Mike R if you go in too quickly to a bend. Looked like a good driver IMO. Good time for a relatively low powered car too...

Nice clean lap, a couple of small moments but he does know the way round and that helps big time
