Today I am in lovely West/North Yorkshire at Wetherby racecourse for SMMT* Test Day North, an industry event that involves getting to drive lots of different cars back to back. I know it says South rather than North on my badge - that’s because I’m going to the Southern version on Thursday as well.

Anything hoonable or is it all sensible stuff?

@thecarfactoids Almost everything was electric/hybrid/automatic. The only manual car I drove all day was the new Astra.

@davidwilkins Rather like the current Astra, a surprisingly good steer.
