Not very impressive! (the R8s)

My car was 440bhp and had the R8 tyres on.

it looked like an 8 :40 that's damned good for the ring on a busy day with all the usual obstructions,
Good driving.

I spent most of that vid looking for my phone thinking it was distorting the speakers till i realised it was on the vid :oops:
