Looks as smooth as brooklands used to be when they used to race 2 ton cars round capable of over 100mph on thin radial tyres with no more than a cable operated handbrake
ps. I have driven such a , on something much smoother and that was scary enough, so on something rough and bouncy at 100mph it must have been frightening! Car I drove was a 1914 Indianapolis Sunbeam owned since 1932 by a family friend and restored in the late 80's. Now sold on
Priceless car

WHat an awsome place!! wounder what its been used as now.. I think it could be a good investment to buy, refurb then use as a track
Though looks like a lot of money would be needed
