Our Cars, brief update, Ginetta G40 GRDC (month five), CAR+ October 2015

Updated: 16 September 2015

 Month five with the Ginetta G40 GRDC
 It makes other cars feel rather big
 We wonder why cars are so big nowadays?  

A consequence of driving a car as low and generally dinky as the G40 is that other traffic looks positively massive. Everything seems a size or two up from reality; a Corsa looks like a Mokka, a 5-series a 7-series, a Range Rover a block of flats.

Far from feeling too low, you wonder what everyone else is doing up there so high. It’s easy to read the road from down here, but also to feel more in touch with it. Sitting lower definitely heightens your senses.
