So much for modern hot hatches

Technically the sunbeam is modded, but then - the exige is a modded elise, and a supercharged one doubly so!

The exige looks to have the edge on the straight - except when the sunbeam is on cam. The exige is totally outclassed on the brakes and on cornering tho!

By god the sunbeam pilot can drive!!!

BTW thats also a couple of ex BTCC cars he canes and all :)

Nice!

I was impressed how quick it actually was.  I did giggle a bit though when the Exige driver locked his wheels up on the corner, Im assuming he was a little bit rattled that the Sunbeam was keeping up with him, never mind trying to overtake!

Hes really good, he really hammered it into some of those corners.

i was more impressed that his reactions were quick enough so he could get so close to the car infront, still slaming on the breaks when he needed too without getting "flusterd"

have seen soooooo many people do that :o

Well impressive watch the other video by the same user. He hits the other car in the last 10seconds straight in the side. But I guess thats what happens at that level and you just have to take it :)
