Getting a Taste of Speed



Have you ever wondered what it's like to ride in a race car? One lucky fan got the opportunity to ride three laps around the Thruxton track with Tiff Needell, who you know from Top Gear and Fifth Gear. The car is a BMW M2. It's not even going that fast for the track, but this guy has every muscle in his body clenched tightly. You've known people who do that just because they're not the one driving, but this is a bit faster than he's used to. Needell keeps up a running commentary the whole time, possibly to ease the guy's mind, but it's not working. The horn beeps are not real; they are censoring the guy's reaction. (via Digg)
