Apologies. Thought it would work anywhere. Turbo cab beats the R8 spyder 0-100-0 mph and is 2 secs faster around the track (1 min 12.9 secs).

Nice vid. Always like this show. Would like to see the Stig run these two cars without the sliding and hijinks though. I love Tiff Needell and Jason Plato but I think the results would be more accurate with one driver and better timing equipment lol. Im sure the TCab is the faster car but not ready to believe 2 secs faster with that unscientific timing equipment.
