It's incredible how quickly you get used to speed though, with the right wheel, tyre, and suspension setup, an FI K/F20 would be usable on the road, you just end up doing things a lot faster.
In my humble opinion, what's enough to stay interesting on single carriageway British roads while staying within legal or just a little bit quicker speeds, is just slow on dual carriageways.
That's how you end up incredibly bored, in need of coffee, and blowing your headgasket... oh wait, that's just me.
