The thing was a complete beast, I lived in London at that time and the weekends were spent at Brands, Silverstone and any/all circuits within a 100 mile radius of London.

First time I saw it was at Brands but quite a bit before the initial launch, on a weekday, when it was being shaken down and it was swerving and sliding all over the damp track - at the official launch it looked transformed - much less body roll and it stuck to the track very well.
