To be fair, the Porsche looked like a road going car & the driver's cds were probably flying all around the cabin which is a bit distracting.

England has some lovely tracks. Makes my local Manfeild track look very dull.

Yah, but who cares. The Porsche was slower. Last summer at a Kelowna slalom course, two cars (a Porsche Boxer and a Mitsubishi with big rear wing and 50 series tires fared miserably. They couldn't turn with more than a few cones stuck under the cars. Sure it was the drivers to a large extent but it contrasted to some young kid driving (we imagined) his Mom's four door stock older Toyota Corolla who did surprisingly well.
