Where is Charlie Cyberster ? ;-)

Is that because you can see the MG badge on the boot.

Not sure if I'd have found it if you hadn't pointed it out @salty, but as soon as you see the outline of the boot with the MG badge, you know.

On the paddock of the Circuit de Chenevières (Lorraine region, East of France)

The other cars are British cousins

Challenge them to a sprint race, but probably not a handling challenge.

The Cyberster makes the Lotus and VX look so small.

Agree, it's actually a lot bigger then you think it is, in the flesh. Coz it's an MG drop top, folk are expecting an MGB or even a Midget, and they get quite a shock.

Actually I drove on this track. But I was not allowed to be on the track at the same time as the petrol cars for safety reasons. So I did about ten laps alone. Lap times are a little slower than those of the Lotus and Alpine. What is lost in the corners is made up in acceleration and speed at the end of the straight. The problem is braking, slowing down 2 tons is not that easy. Coming from an Alfa Romeo 4C, the braking distances are considerably longer to me.
The other problem on the track is the lack of reference points I'm used to. Gear position, engine speed and noise. The only usable information is the speedometer and visual cues on the track. At first, it's quite confusing.

Although you may not like it, have you tried the simulated engine noise. I have mine on all the time. It is not loud but you feel like you are getting some feedback.

Finally found a suitable hood-emblem for my Yellow Bird

Certainly suits the car @4Rens, I hope it's well stuck on.

I think these would be illegal in the UK.

It's probably not allowed here in the Netherlands either. You're not allowed to change the technical condition of your car without permission from the RDW.

You can always say that you don't know this bird
