    Fantastic, I wish my day job was as interesting.

    I'm guessing the Aston roof wouldn't be able to take those loads without some reinforcement. Were you able to do that and still retain the original interior trim?

    Is it all x-by-wire, steering/throttle/brake?

    Did you need to upgrade the engine/suspension or is the performance engineered in the editing suite?

    All I can say is that with DC sat in the car with cameras all around him all the interior trim is exactly as you would expect from a production Aston.

    No performance limitations, what you'll see on screen is what the cars were capable of, we push the cars far harder than any track or test session a manufacturer would put them through.

    I thought maybe you'd need to stiffen up the anti-roll bars etc to cope with the bigger roll moment, but it's impressive if you didn't need to. I look forward to seeing it.
