UK CTR vs JDM CTR..the winner is... (according to 5th Gear)

[Djcoolmax]

JDM CTR by 3 sec in a track race. No surprise there....

[Thefear]

Yeah no surprise... any videos??

[Dahawk]

But the starting part when vicki hopped onto the JDM CTR, is the ride comfort really that bad?

[Falc]

The lady driver can talk so much while doing a timed round in the track. No credibility leh ....

[Relagsingh]

yes. it is that bad. apart form the low profile tyres, the suspension set ups and spring rates are stiffer than the FN2.

 

Sat in one before during my friend's test drive of the car. go around car park only buay tahan liao. but being a JDM, its meant to be hard core.

Do you know her history?

[Falc]

Nope. Wow she got history huh hehe ....

[Relagsingh]

i just know she's also a narrator for some other programmes and shows. same as tiff needell.

 

oh yah, who got discovery channel? the show "how do they do it" was sometimes narrated by her.

[DarkLord]

New episode? Posted in you-tube yet?

[Relagsingh]

no surprise is one thing. but the margin is very comprehensive for a small track like castle combe.

 

3 secs diff on a small track is a HUGE margin. imagine the test being done on suzuka or sepang

Cool thanx

[Dahawk]

Bro they usually narrate when doing the warm up lap, not when clocking the time for the circuit

[DarkLord]

Thanks bro!

She's like bouncing non-stop!

[Imuya]

yeap, the editing afterwards made it seem like the commentary is real-time when clocking.

 

It's cheating a bit but hey, it's television.

Some extract from the Wikipeda on Vicki Butler-Henderson:

 

Originally Butler-Henderson worked as a racing driver - she started racing at the age of 12 - and racing instructor before moving into journalism where she worked on numerous British motoring magazines including Auto Express, What Car? and Performance Car. For a time she was also the mechanic in Max Power magazine, referred to simply as VBH.

 

Vicki drives a Honda S2000 and a Porsche Boxster.

 

think she definitely knows her stuffs.....
