Tiff Needell is no stranger to driving fast cars, well, fast. He's not only a Le Mans 24 Hours podium sitter, but a regular competitor at Goodwood. And that's long before we get onto his antics on both Top and Fifth Gear.

At last year's 77^th Goodwood Members' Meeting he was a lucky enough man to be entrusted with a stunning TVR Griffifth for the Graham Hill Trophy. This little pocket rocket may look like a small little lightweight sportscar, but underneath it's powered by a thumping V8.

It's still a lightweight though, so add in all the power of that might motor and you can tell the little TVR is going to be a handful. This lap from Tiff during qualifying is a perfect example of how to handle that teeny monster, while extracting both minimun laptime, and maximum fun.
