@ the 320si - 173bhp and only 40kg lighter than the standard car? It would need to lose at least 400kg to be remotely quick! Even then it would still need another 60bhp to have the slightest bit of credibility.

Looks like a vehicle for "company car race drivers" and no one else.

Nice to see an Exige S on this week's show.

It's a homologation special (2nd time I've used that term today!).

Am I the only person that finds this crap program and its presenters irritating?
