 in typical top gear fashion, a rather silly race. but it's worth watching just for the spitty.

How I would love to be able to introduce myself as a 'Spitfire pilot'. Apparently you can, they offer a conversion course on that Spit. Guess I better start saving. The Irish Air Corps, see my avatar, operated two seat Spitfires and most of the two seat survivors came from that source. But not that particular one as it happens.

Flying a Spit is definitely on my bucket list.

Shame nobody is close to me, we're having a memorial this Saturday (for a beloved member) and will be flying everything we can, including our spit.

So, +9lbs boost or so.  I wonder what it would look like using +18lbs or +25lbs boost?

i'd venture a guess that in the conditions of that silliness, that they couldn't have run higher boost.

Of course not.

Just something that would be nice to have in the video, letting people know the Spit was running at ~50% power in the race while the car was doing the best the driver could get out of it.
