Road tests taking place around belmullet, and bangor erris.

had a close up look at these today. they had security with them and the brown jeep is their support. nice job to have !

enjoy

notice the DVR in the dash of one of them. thats vehicle CCTV. hidden cams onboard and telemetry. off site recording and trackers.
also all 3 were debadged, as if that made a difference....must be weight !

Great find that, there are probably spy sites or mags that would pay for those

mcclaren and ferrrari were there during the summer.
they all seem to relish the belmullet road.

Its actually because its in the middle of no where and few people would blink an eye on a passing group of cars. Same in the remote parts of Norway for the ice / cold weather testing.

Many OEMs base their bottoming out road profiles on Irish roads. One I worked at previously did. It was their world standard of shitness!

But ours are reliably shit, in a first world country with breakdown assistance, accessible, business friendly etc. etc.

First hand experience of driving in Laos & Cambodia, and I will tell you, our sh1t roads don't even come close to their sh1t roads, the main highways of Cambodia are unsealed stone (not even gravel) roads. You could lose an entire car let alone a wheel in the potholes of Laos, perhaps Porsche could head over there instead of the wild west :P

My neighbour just bought a second super-car.

I live in Mayo and the roads are not potholed. But they are (how can I put this very bouncy) like their are dips, humps and twists and turns. I enjoy driving on roads like that, great fun. Not great for the shocks and springs though. Or bushings etc...

Sounds like the Dublin/Wicklow boarder on the military road, it goes from lovely(high speeds are fine) to bumpy, wavy and straight up mental for the speed you could do 10 meters ago.

I tell ya, you'll hit the middle one hard and you'll only make that mistake once.

Terrible picture I know but it appeared to be some sort of Jag XJ test mule around Cork city. Front and back were well covered.
