This is it, our biggest performance test ever! Twenty-one cars are put through a rigorous induction programme to find out if they will be allowed to enter our Fast Club. The class of 2006 includes everything from Ascari's mighty (and mightily expensive) KZ1 supercar to Renault's diminutive Clio Trophy hot hatch hero. Records fall and reputations are made.
21 cars were put through 3 tests at Millbrook, the 1st was a 0-100-0mph, the next was trying to hit the car's Vmax until the driver lost their nerve, and the final test was a lap around Bedford Autodrome's west circuit.
