This has caused a bit of a stir on a Corvette board, it is perfectly legal but is it safe? Z06 Flat out on the German Autobhan at a GPS verified 312kmh/193.44mph, the difference in speed betwean the Vette and the two trucks it passes is astonishing.

"Speed Doesn't Kill"

It's the difference in speed that does. BUT I suspect that in Germany they learn to expect it, so no big deal.

Did you ever think you would hear the phrase "soapbox derby" preceded by the word "outlaw"?

Kind of long for my short attention span.

More fast and loose road driving. This film was taken from a Caterham during "Mad Sunday" on the Isle Of Man TT course. On Mad Sunday the road is open to the public but it's set to one way only and all speed limits are dropped, I have to try this but I need something fast, well faster than a 944 lux anyway!
