One of the reasons I rarely bother watching TG.

I'm not sure what's worse - the boorish, casually racist presenters, or the sycophantic gurning idiots in the audience.

I had the pleasure of watching Ben Collins racing a touring car at Brands Hatch.
He had his arse handed to him.

Except for acting as a snow plough lol.
Also, it isn't that "crazy". I mean, he's not going too fast, would be better off in a car more suited to it so he could put the throttle down!

But it's still not terribly bright. And living where I do, I get to drive in deep snow every year (but this one, for some strange meteorological quirk). It's only fun when there are no other drivers around.

By doing reverse handbrake turns out of my garage in the snow. When I did a double, and missed the basketball pole by barely a few inches, that was the end of that particular breed of fun.

Reverse handbrake turns?
Handbrake locks the back wheels shirley?

Gun it in reverse out of the garage, slip the car into neutral when you have enough inertia, handbrake, wheel hard to the left, let the front spin around the locked back wheels, and drop into first and give her the beans. Much fun to be had by all as you pirouette around the driveway in the snow.

But you are looking at something that was shot over a much longer period.There are more than 3 wheel changes during this footage...the most obvious being the one straight after the exit from the pit lane.Hey presto!..Concave rims become convex rims.It also happens on the return to the garage & in a couple of other spots of cornering.Still impressive footage, but not the 6:49 snowy lap as the video would have us believe.
