Glad to see Liam has matched his 2011 record of destroying a car before the end of March...



...hope he fares better debuting his DS3 this weekend (and with the RS200 at Pikes Peak this year).

Despite his record as a destroyer of cars, I've seen a few comments now indicating that the Pistonheads article may be a little biased in its delivery of the story. Was waiting for the official word from the Doran camp, but it doesn't seem to have come.

A testament to the build of the GT-R though. Lucky his 2012 season wasn't over before it started.


NB: Incidentally, the crash happened on the GP circuit, not "the" Ring.

Didn't know he was doing Pikes Peak this year, now there's a place you don't want to have a big shunt!

Yeah, he's "borrowed" Pats ex-Dietter Knuttel RS200 (the RS200 that was being demoed at Lydden last August)...



...now with 925 BHP.
