It may not be 'cutting edge' but it sure does look a lot of fun! Our friends on the other side of the pond do like to put some proper entertainment into things, just look at the white house! 😀

The handling characteristics of the trucks evokes memories of watching the Osellas in practice for the 1983 Long Beach GP - over 7 seconds off the pace of the Ferraris :cool:
