DRAT!
I missed them!
(';')

 

Ahh the broadspeed jag piloted by steed! Loved that show!! And Joanna Lumley as Purdy!!!, had me a little crush!!!

 

That video is fake, this one is real.

 

All heaps of fun aside, it appears (the clip is too short to confirm) that that's not a Jaguar...at least as far as what's pushing it down the road is concerned.

 

True, you could tell because it was passing cars.

 

What that clip is all about is called a "Time Trial". I've run them myself at Lime Rock in my SCCA spec'd TR4 when I wore a younger man's clothes. It's not a race. People run their cars there just to have fun, usually with their street cars. Nobody wants to crash their street car. So there's a lot of backing down when a fast approaching car is behind them. I'm not saying that there isn't head to head competition as the adrenaline macho-ism goes up! And it's all great fun BTW.
