That's Paul Swift i think.

Why would it have been better if he had written it off? Surely that would make him a worse driver...

your right...

get in a 26 thousand pound car,
drive at speed around another 26 thousand pound car,
using handbreak turns, J turns, and scandinavian flicks,
while surrounded by over 150 people,
in a box that cant be much more than 200 ft long and 40 ft wide,
with everyone screaming so you cant hear the engine/tires propely.
while in a car with 320ft/lb of torque being forced through the front wheels on a tight, twisty, cobbled suface.

hell, my nephew could lap the ring in 6 minutes if he could reach the pedals.

get a life you twit, give credit were its due...

rant over..

IIRC they travel with M-sport and follow the WRC teams. They showed it on the turkey WRC programme. i think they are actually part of M-sport and have something to do with paul swift, but i dont think that actually is him...
