The whole show was worth watching just for the clip of the jet overtaking VBH in the Boxster - amazing! :thumbsup

Afraid after another car versus plane, I switched off.

The same with time taken up by pilots trying to autotest.

I agree that whole section was time wasted.

It felt almost refreshing to see a tyre test on a car show though, even if they did prove that buying 60 quid part worn tyres makes you stop quicker in the wet!

Two of them were Winters :thumbsup
All 4 tyres were different makes as well. Was quite interesting to hear that the eco low friction tyres were so poor stopping in the wet, think I'll give them a miss.
