It sort of looks like he's driving a bubble with an interior.

No wing mirrors or front end by the looks of it haha.

Having driven with him a few times including having tuition at Brands that is not his normal style. JF might be right about the handling so Sollis is having to feel the corner.

Stef, all a quickshift,or short throw as they should be called will do is bugger up the baulk rings even quicker than normal.unless its a direct dog engagement.

bill looked to be giving it beens, but with all that constant adjustment i'd be pissed off with all the effort involved,
i know its easy to say that but i suppose the dons just as bad,if not worst for driver input effort,
looks good fun though .

If anything I am slower with a quick shift as 1st and 3rd are very close so care is needed to get the right gear. But it does improve feel nicely.

Soon I hope!
I really need to push on with the car

I dont think im quite so wobbly on the steering when i drive, not that im a better driver than bill, its just that I am used to the car.
There are a couple of times where I can see times that i think i could push it harder, or keep it on boost

Or it could be that we had to pack Bill out with 2 jackets behind the seat so he could reach, he may not have been fully comfortable

I dont agree with quick shifts, for the reason carl says, and i dont think they would gain me anything
