It didn't look to me like it set off that quick really. Then again, probably quicker than it looked.

And it sounded a like a bunch of fire works attached to a bike. :clown:

I doubt it because a tubby has more mechanical grip. What we can be sure of, though, is that the Teg would be more balanced on the limit and give more feedback through the steering and seat :D

He should have overtaken him 3 laps earlier really, plenty of opportunities but just wouldn't get close enough for some reason. It didn't really look like he was exacly pushing the car (could have been waiting for slicks to warm up I guess).
