    That looked great.  I have to say though I didn't expect the GTR to be that good against the Turbo S.  Having said this of course it was a very small twisty track, so I guess this was going to happen.

    I actually find the Turbo S to be substantially quicker, especially out of corners and in straightline acceleration.

     The GTR was able to past only on the right as did the TTS. I believe they each made their pass at the same point on the track. It was as though they were allowing each other to past at that point.

    Obviously, much to small and narrow track to arrive at any conclusions regardless of outcome.

    Two cars with very similar power, the Porsche may have some advantage because Porsche is always conservative with its power figures, but the Nissan could benefit from its longer wheelbase. So in the end it will be a very close race.

    The drag race would've been a lot worse if Tiff was serious Smiley

    That episode of Fifth Gear was broadcast on Fri 6 May. Another segment in that programme that I found very interesting was the weekend trip to the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
