Absolutely fantastic interview. Leo, I'd say this was your best episode yet.

Robb, thank you for the insight. You're really well spoken and articulate and that says a lot about you as a person. I learned a ton from both of you and it was a captivating watch.

Robb: It sounds almost like the WC vs the S2000 cars is almost like a photog going from a point-n-shoot camera to a DSLR. Your skill can get a good picture with the PnS, but the DSLR is "OH MY GOD, THIS IS WHAT A CAMERA SHOULD BE!"

Oh I was soooo looking forward to seeing this guy again. How he described the fundamentals of FF racing car setups a year ago made for what was one of the most enjoyable DRIVE episodes.

Nice to see Gordon Shedden's 2011 car go to a nice guy - must have been a baptism of fire, as BTCC is a tough nut to crack - good to see you Robb :)

Its actually just a feature of the S2000 Honda Civics built by Team Dynamics. The S2000 cars all use rear suspension arms derived from the road-going models, and the design of the Civic allowed the Dynamic Rear Toe development. NGTC cars use spec subframes across all models, which is a metal cradle that houses the dampers, arms, toe links and ARBs (sway bars), so there isn't a chance to use DRT.

He's binned it already (about lap3) what a shame!

less shit jokes, more chat about racing

Good video guys. BTCC is great to watch.

[youtubasoarus]

Awesome interview! This channel continues to amaze. Some of the best coverage in the automotive world.

Leo, does the NGTC-spec also have "dynamic toe adjustments"? For either the front-drive or rear-drive cars? Or is this feature only on the older S2000-spec?

Great interview. Good luck Robb.
