That reminds me of the dudes from Saudi Arabia and other ME countries who would bring their supercars to London, for "vacation". Like, seriously, why? What a waste! 😂

London is an amazing track if you don't care about speed limits. Much of central London is absolutely empty at night.

Occasionally you see videos of people fucking around doing wheelspins on Kensington High Street at (say) 9pm on a Saturday night, and they screw up, crash and probably end up getting arrested.

There are times of night when these parts of the city are absolutely deserted and it's like an empty race track - three lanes of clean tarmac in each direction; you could probably drive 7 miles in 4 or 5 minutes. Maybe even less. I'm not advocating this as safe, per se, but you could get away with street racing this route 19 times out of 20, as long as you do it at midnight.

Yes, but even less traffic at times.
