Unlikely but......

Anyway, depending on what you've come from, I suspect a Sagaris could well take a bit of getting used to, especially when you are constantly in traffic (blast down the straight using the power, come up behind cars which corner faster and leave you behind, rinse, repeat). Seems to be a comon ailment of TVRs on trackdays - you need brass balls to drive them quickly round the corners and especially in the wet - one touch and that GRP cracks like carrots and isn't cheap to replace.

For instance, a very quick TVR will cost roughly the same as a Boxster, yet the boxster will be less pwerful and easier to drive (not trying to detract from you here Wads, bear with me....) so it's safe to say, most TVR owners will not have had much experience of 350bhp/tonne cars with absolutely no driver aids, it's not really surprising he's taking it gently for a few trackdays if he's in that situation.......
Yes agree completely...... I'm sure if I was in the Sagaris I would also have struggled to get the power down in the wet.

Anyway its still nice to get passed a quicker car
