So I just watched this episode and I have to say I'm a bit pissed.
First of all what in tarnation made them place the Noble M12 in the GT category? It was of couse bested by the DB9 and rightly so.
The M12 is a sports car, can anyone tell me how a freaking mid engine TT car with a bloody roll cage is a GT car? The Elise ended up winning the sports car class but I'm wondering if the M12 woudl've been included in the sports car it might have won considering it can spank an elise around a track.
And to top it all of the title of best British car was awarded to the flippin new mini. Come on now it might have a good chassis but its more of a german car masquerading as an iconic British car. The title should have been awarded to one of the small guys like the catherham , noble or a morgan. IMO the quitesential British car is built by one of the small cottage industries.
