Your mate's car looks great and will look out for it (although I will ask him why, after spending all that money modding the car, he's having to have his passenger hold up the GoPro instead of buying a mount for it...).

He has loads of mounts, but that was giving a passenger ride to "Boosted Boris", who decided to do his own little video

Car sadly now lives in Germany and doesn't come back to the UK very often. When it next does, I'll give you heads up

.

On the last test day at Snetterton it was glued to a slick shod Ariel Atom (which also had the aero package). We were on just Cups as well

. Sadly the GT4 aero slows it down on the straights and we couldn't overtake.

Yes - I did tell you we were going to be there

. It was undergoing it's final testing (after spending the last 9 months being built to this level) before being shipped out to Germany

Quite possibly when he first went out, as it took several coming in going back out to dial the suspension back in to get it set up right after it's mental diet (I didn't see anyone "pushing" him though - was this an E46 or an E92 - I do remember seeing an E46 on slicks that was going quite well, but didn't see it out at the same time as Ben's car - not that I was watching all the time, so it may have happened).

This was it's absolute first outing with the new set-up, so he was going easy at the beginning until everything was dialled in. Even then, it wasn't quite right (it was too low, causing the rear end to step out more than normal (especially considering the aero). He couldn't raise it up until the following day, as it required the geometry being reset each time.

He didn't start to push until then, as the rear end was too loose with the dampers set how they were when it had 120kg more weight. I didn't even get in the car until he had set the suspension up as best he could (and that was when we caught the Ariel and had a nice little battle - I was passenger for that).
