Did anyone see the religious duel on TG tonight?
No surprise that the C of E won, they had two entires, and one was a ringer. Nice to see an IMP on the show - what wasd the model, and who was the supplier? Did I see a Prodrive sticker on the car?
Was anyone on the BBSD actually there to witness the event?

Yeah, some of them looked like it was the clutch but at least on one launch I could see the front wheels spinning, with light smoke coming from them....rather than from under the car.

The clutch thing was a little insulting to any mechanically sympathetic viewer!!
(poor thing)
the car was a prodrive live car, which (I think) you can still drive if you go on a prodrive live day.
All the best

Funniest bit was when either the Buddhist of Hari-Krishna guy span off and swore! Sounded a bit like 'luck' !
