I was on donnigton race track. So if I'm testing the car trying to find its limits I'm obviously going to potter around at 50mph am I? I've done three advanced driving courses, one wet, one dry (both at Mira) and a racing course (at donny). I don't drive at 122mph on public roads please don't insult my intelligence or driving ability by suggesting I do.
