[lazybiker79]

Great driving

[justas73r]

Absolutely fantastic!!

[carlcallycharly]

watched it 2 yrs ago and again today and it will never bore me like most vids on here that give no indication of raw power and handling, you find yourself holding ur breath LOL, its like a race sim of you turn up to max and concentrate and think its yourself driving

[fishera70]

[svdpsy]

Nice! That was Hustling!

[talbotos11]

[kevrs2]

[SuzyRonchetti]

You are correct about the 1979 bit, the standard Sunbeam was released in 1977My mate who uploaded it got it wrong,

[alernest]

GREAT!!!

Though I thought the Lotus Sunbeam had come out in 1979...

[WestEndRacers]

Joss, top man. I thought I was the only one daft enough to risk the outside of the Gooseneck. ;-) Looking forward to 2010! Stacy.

[andyrob1971]

classic joss! best bits from 3 min on over you pasted taylor , hawkn & hammersley in as many corners

[SuzyRonchetti]

You been swotting up and watching a 1.35 lap?...lol

Look on the bright side Andy, everywhere else will be a breeze after Cadwell.

The Sunbeam was built for the place, I will make it very hard for you there!!

[whitemetro99]

yes joss 1.35 is a quick lap but 500bhp and 4wd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i still think you will take some beating come to croft though and thats adiffrent matter

[riflerangefarm]

actually I'd say that Exige was the quicker car its just Mr Ronchetti is a better more experienced driver - he was using slower traffic to out manouvre the exige and the Primera! I've watched his other videos and he just charges 10/10th all the way!

[Nikolas4g63]

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT Driving man!

Enjoyed every sec of it

[cocacolaholic]

seen this car in retro car mag today! possibly the most beautiful car i have ever seen! thanx for uploading, i love this car!

[stiggywiggywoo]

ha, ive just read the article aswell, lovely car!!

[ackbullchang]

Was that a slight come to at 1:46? Looks like the exige got slightly out of shape!

[ackbullchang]

Wow! Its on proper racing videos like this that you really appreciate how narrow a track Cadwell is.

Top drawer for the old school Talbot!

[crisprapper]

Superb driving, awesome video.

[fatbeat53]

great racing! cadwell rocks! the asphalt area is so small there, must be really hard to pass the slower cars there!

[MopTheMonkey]

Nice driving Joss. I remember you holding a Sunbeam sideways round the Roosters car park 20-odd years ago, is it the same one? I also remember you taking me out for a high-speed spin round the lanes in that old Rover SD1 - 90mph into a sharp left on the way into Great Glen, I was glad of that roll cage...! Nice to see you're still racing.

[TomAsbury]

i'm guessing that was a race day ??

awesome driving, tho the best car was the noble which got away at the begining with sum other cars :P

[MOTOFLETCH1993]

i was there when this was recorded. i was sat at the bottom of the mountain (turn 11) that sunbeam was pushing hard. great drive, you even beat the 2 ex touring cars (primera and cavalier).........just shows how good the old stuff is !!!!!!!!!!! ^_^

[topgear1507]

quickest car there!

[xraycortina]

Good driving..that car looks a bit of a handful.

Isn't there meant to be a rule about slower cars getting out of the way when someone's behind?

[jfkjfk1]

Nice footage dude..

Brings back fond memories of 1987 when at age'd 20 I had a series 2 Lotus Sumbeam with the same forest arches.... Reg FTY 969W.. Anyone got this car now ?
