Just watched this all the way through.........and I dont think I blinked once........
A fascinating program , but I do think the car has one major fault - that awful canopy door . Every time you get in the car in the rain , you have a nice wet seat - no chance of flinging open a door and jumping in......
Underneath , its a kit car - welded tubular steel and bonded panels





Its cuz I is blond , innit

Just watched the program, brilliant - I admire the direction he's taking the T25 in....

Only flaw I could see is how do you escape the T25 if it rolls in a crash onto it's side or roof? Don't think it was mentioned, any ideas?

other than the fact its fugly, its antisocial driving layout and it wont appeal to the people that buy small cars like that. It just have the kudos of a smart.
As wonderful as he was in F1 and with the F1 road car, the T25 is destined to flop. (IMO)

The content of the show on the other hand was great to watch.
