Testing, testing
Not the first place you’d associate with a bout of range anxiety
O
ur annual Britain’s Best Driver’s Car test is in store for you this week. You
will probably have skipped ahead to p44 and hoovered up all 24 pages of it already so may well know that we had a change of scene for this year’s shootout. Lincolnshire’s fastest and most beautiful topographical cleft, Cadwell Park, was ours for two wonderful days, and Motorsport Vision chief Jonathan Palmer was our gracious host.
Cadwell was perfect for ‘Handling Day’ in all ways save one – which, since it’s acommon problem for circuit operators, Iknow Palmer won’t mind me mentioning. The man himself was interviewed recently on Autocar’s My Week In Cars podcast and talked openly about the challenges that motorsport venues like Cadwell are facing in gearing up for electrification.
