999 vs car ?
 

just caught the end of 5th gear i think,was a 999 racing a car of some discription?What was that all about then?:puzzled:

they've been doing a one lap time trial with a different car every week, early on they put a 999 round the track and it took top spot... until they dug out a £100k car to beat it.

Looked like Anglesea circuit
