He's lucky to be alive let alone back to his regular job on Top Gear. The safety gear works. As we old motorcycles say ATGATT. <All The Gear All The Time>

Not for long periods of time. I'm sure that car will keep on going faster if promited. Those tires don't look like drag car or high speed car tires. Aren't they usually thinner?
