I was at a Transport Conference yesterday at MIRA, in Nuneaton, Warks. This is a automotive testing area with a proving ground, all very secret stuff.
The conference was in a room with a large window overlooking the high speed test track and to my joy they were testing a new Sonic Blue STi with gold wheels and full cage. this went on for a few hours, unfortunately we were not allowed to take any cameras or mobile phones into the place so no pictures.
It looked pretty good being driven with aggression, unfortunately I don't know who was driving it either.
Also testing there was the SEAT Touring Car team, and the new Jag.
After the conference we were given a small tour of the place only being allowed into certain areas, and then taken around the whole test track and associated testing areas.
Top Gear were filming there last week, and they have a steep hill test, and on it was a long wheel spin mark, evidently this was Clarkson and it will be on the TV soon.
