Great vid, love both cars, but you've got to wonder what would have happened if they had been driving the opposite car?! Jezzer is good for the cameras with screeching and smoking tyres but VBH is more of a racing driver (although she did make a couple of errors).

Every Topgear "race" you see on the telly has been set up before a camera rolls . A draw with some nice sideways action and a few passes ?????
Good for telly but unless its the stig timed on the track I will take all "races" with a pinch of salt

As some of you may know that Cosworth is owned by Mark Shead of M.A. Developments and pumps out 350bhp+ i can remember it going up many times against the opposition and trouncing them quite easily, the thing is ok it 'only' produces 350bhp but due to its bajoo chip this made the 350 very, very torqey and driveable and thus an absolute monster on acceleration and easily kept with 400bhp+ monsters that had a fortune spent on them.

If the video is to be believed than that Scooby did really well keeping with that thing.

When it comes to Ford Tuning mark really knows his stuff

Another well rehearsed top gear sketch, how many takes did it take to get the dead heat finishing shot. VBH calles herself a racing driver "oo a bit wide",
Barret could have built a housing estate between the racing line and her line, the blind man could have done a better job.
