Hilarious. Whilst¹ demonstrating the Prodrive P2 prototype's computer-controlled differential system anti-understeer capabilities, Clarkson loses it right on the track. The fun starts at about 5:45 minutes in:

BTW, the ProDrive has the type of anti-lag setup I'd like to put on one of my cars 
¹Hey, it's a British show, so I get to type in real English.

Dan, now if you turned your attentions to the fitment of the EGR style anti lag, you might make some significant advances in the engines potential. Whilst i applaud your efforts in thevariable intake thingy, i'm thinking this will be a road to nowhere. If it worked on a force fed engine, the makers would have perfected it years ago. However, EGR ALS is a real eye opener, and really something worth investigation
And lets be specific here, notjust any old ALS methodology,but specifically EGR type. Do some research, then we can have a chat. You have the ECU capability now

I think you may have misinterpreted that clip. He is going to the washroom for another purpose. Engineering technology turns Germans on if you catch my drift.

 Maybe I did! That makes it even funnier! (although less relevant to this topic, perhaps)
