That looked like a lot of fun. Now that JCW is off elsewhere my one regret is that I didn't get the chance to take it somewhere like that and I could really have found out it's true potential apart from the odd spurt on the Kings highway. I liked the quilted leather in the second car. That is a car I have never considered but did notice when I was in my hot hatch phase.

As an owner i love my 595 and while i agree its fun to see what these amazing little cars can do BUT i`d doubt you`d abuse your own car like that? i would also not be too happy in the thought that Abarth UK will likely be selling these "almost new cars" abused to breaking point from Abarth UK dealers?

Same could be said for Chris Harris power sliding a car round a track. At the end of the day Abarth invited us to learn a new set of skills and demonstrate how good the 595 is at a genuine firm of motorsport in Autotesting 👍

Nah, you didn't break it the car just couldn't keep up with the quality of the driver.....and I would stick with that! I can only imagine the warranty claims Abarth may get from their customers saying "well you did it on Petrol Ped so thought it was within the limits of my warranty".
