Three left (mind the taxi) and three right tightens into two right (traffic lights on green) and open four left (dodge late-night bus, get in left-hand lane), 40, narrows (indicate left, into Coventry Street), and stop at the signal (a policeman is flagging me down).Having successfully co-driven myself around Piccadilly Circus in the Hyundai i20 WRC car, I can"t for the life of me think why the evening-all gang might want a chat. Maybe they"d spotted that I"d been a bit tardy with my downshift into the tight right, but my line past the bus where the camber changes ready for the three left down Haymarket, was, though I say so myself, spot on.Polished boots march to my side of the car, and a stern face stoops to the polycarbonate window slot. I slide it open. It"s about the size of his mouth, which now appears to be attempting docking. "May I ask what you think you are doing, Sir?" says the mouth.Photography: Mark RiccioniThis feature was originally published in the March 2016 issue of Top Gear Magazine.
