You're going to have to be a bit good behind the wheel to get even half the performance out of that thing. And that's on a track! Should give the Radical a run for it's money - I can see a new lap record of the 'Ring coming very soon.

Well someone clicked teh thumbs down icon - presumably because they deeply disapproved of your post, or were insulted by it.

Easily correctly by clicking the thumbs up icon, and making it vocally clear that whoever clicked teh thumbs down icon is a complete an utter cretin that shouldn't be left in charge of a mouse without authorised supervison

The Atom would win as the T1 would not manage to finish the race due to being on fire
