How does that saying go ?

"With great power comes great responsibility".

I remember having a chat a few years ago with a chap in an Aero Plus 8 as we waited for a ferry in Dieppe.

He told me that he liked the car, but had a constant feeling that it was trying to kill him, which was not a sentiment he'd ever experienced with the Plus 4 he had owned beforehand.....

Massive power, light weight, short wheelbase, zero driver aids. It's not a hugely difficult equation to understand, but certainly a package which requires respect and circumspection from the person behind the wheel.
