Have to agree with this. He scared me for a while when he did that Top Gear rubbish but seems to be back on the straight and narrow now. He has a Jack Dee type persona/humour and it suits his reviews perfectly. It "seemed" he was trying to be someone that he is not with Flintoff and McGuinness and playing the fool just didn't suit him. Harris has car knowledge, skills and a great delivery. Keep it real Chris.

Under steer will save your ass. I much prefer a gentle push when I'm racing and set my cars up to do so. Whom ever said loose is fast is just wrong. Now mind you, I don't like front tire smoking under steer, just a little on acceleration off the corner. If the front is sliding a tad, the ass is hooked up and driving you forward. If you need to, you can roll off the throttle a bit and tighten things up. Engineers tune cars to under steer, it's far easier to control, what comes naturally, letting off the gas and turning the wheel more in the direction you'd like to go, gets the job done. Catching a loose car with counter steer is much more difficult to do, and if you get the first part right, the next thing you know the car is doing a tank slapper and spins out anyway. I"ve seen it so often on the track, some yoyo who won't back off and get the car pointed in the right direction, tanks slaps all the way down a straight then ultimately wrecks. If he'd just back off the gas and let completely go of the steering wheel, it'd straighten itself out.

And as Harris constantly says the Atom is not set up for the Nordschleife - stiff suspension on a bumpy track equals instant trip to the barriers and then possibly to the hospital. Harris did not want to visit the hospital on this day, nor did he want to be responsible for wrecking someone else's £150,000 Ariel Atom. That's why he was not going as fast as he could have done.
