During action photography, photographers talk to drivers via phones or two-way radios to obey the law and avoid the usual chat through an open window. Working from home, even luddite members of Autocar’s staff (such as your humble servant) learn to meet via computer: surprising how natural it feels. Stories start filtering out through about hacks marooned with test cars that can’t be given back because their makers/importers have closed. Tuesday Just before lockdown, I grab an opportunity to visit the newly opened Silverstone Experience, a museum that tells the fascinating history of Silverstone (first a monastery, then a country estate, then an RAF base, now the home of British motorsport). Don’t get the idea ‘museum’ means fusty: this place is packed with amazingexhibitsand activities, gripping video, fascinating cars and mighty interactive displays, and ends with an Ultimate Lap that’s second only to being on track for real. Wednesday Thursday As our session ends, Mike says he has one more thing to show, then attacks a single-lane road at serious speed. Despite its generous suspension travel, the Defender flies both times but lands almost as if on a feather bed. com to see an open-and-shut case for the featherweight, sophisticated but essentially simple supercar.
