    Revs are far more important for performance driving than speed. If it was the opposite, F1 cars would have speedos!

    Agree.
    Plus the Left hand screen had the speed displayed on the bottom which he negated to tell anyone but was visible in the video.


    Just a shame we have to wait another 6 months for 6 hours worth of tv.

    I'm pretty sure Clarkson owns a mk1 gti and loves them from all accounts, so I couldn't see that harm coming to the mk1. I was squirming in my seat though hoping it wouldn't!
