Lap was done some time ago.

Had a chance as a passanger in a Rush TurboBusa a few years back.

Does not seem right accellerating like a sports bike in a car

Not long after that experiance I had my Rush on order.

i think he could've gone faster tbh, in the first corner he steers away from the inside white line at 30 secs, and a bigger twitch right at 32 secs, when i think he could've used more speed and power to push the car to the outside of the track in that corner. Easy to say from the armchair though so feel free to argue!





Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

If only clarkson wasn't pals with the owner of Noble then we'd probably have seen this on the show.............

LOL - Updated June 2007 - From memory, both Duncan Cowper (in the vid - Busa Turbo Dax) & the Ultima works guys were giving the track records a good bashing back then

I spoke to Duncan about this lap at one of the Dax open days. He reckoned he could have shaved a couple of seconds off as he made so many mistakes. Unfortunately he only had a couple of practice laps before setting the time.
