Autocar UK – 28 August 2019

INTRO BBADC 2019

MATT SAUNDERS

Road test editor

Performed at an imposingly

high level right until realising

he’d booked the track on the

w r o n g d ay. Re d e e m e d by b e i n g

fastest to phone the nearest

Kwik Fit when it was required.

SIMON DAVIS

Road tester

A first-timer at Llandow,

but his steely determination

and commitment didn’t let it

show. Knew what he liked –

both in the paddock and at the

breakfast buffet.

MAURO CALO

Special correspondent

Has seen more Autocar group

test action than some of our

older photography equipment

so high time he had a vote in

one. Sense of humour and

taste in footwear equally loud.

MATT PRIOR

Editor-at-large

Brought a familiar blend

of enthusiasm and focus

to the judging panel. Also

remembered to bring crucial

mobile phone charging

accessories. A real pro.

RICHARD LANE

Road tester

Your guide to the test’s opening

exchanges was prevailed upon

to pay slightly less attention

to his racing lines and more to

everyone else’s comments –

and did so very attentively.
