Citroen AX diesel sub 10m ring lap

Just been watching this rather dedicated chap achieve his <10m ring lap in a Citroen AX diesel.

Hat's off to the guy for persistence and driving ability. Very smooth style and carrying as much speed as he can at all times.

Hope this gets brought up on Top Gear, Clarkson struggled to get that Jag derv around in under 10.

I watched this last night - Tony Pond on the TTcircuit. A stock car driven very smoothly.

That's a favourite of mine too! Very smooth and watchable. Particularly like the bit where he clips the mirror

Smooth is the key to progress. Its a good example of driving a big lardy car fast.

Top man Tony Pond. No fancy electronics then. Great times, shame he is no longer with us.

Used to love my mates AX GT, amazing fun, but to do it in a diesel!
