This Audi TT is a car capable of being driven on or pretty close to the limit. It’s a well-balanced car, turbo-charged with four-wheel drive, with higher performance than you would get in a “normal” TT. It’s been created for the driving school at Silverstone, so it is something that can be driven very hard. I haven’t driven it very much but I can feel what it will do pretty quickly. That’s something that has stayed with me even all…

Throughout his career, Stewart often put on some outstanding displays of car control, as seen here behind the wheel of the Tyrrell Matra en route to victory in the 1969 British Grand Prix.
