Matts right on the money here
i asked Justin about this today at work & he said it was Him along with Stewart Wilcox & Mike Cradock who were actually driving the cars.
they were asked to go there to promote rallycross & get it on the telly, when they got there it was decided they looked too old & the program wanted to focus on soime kids so justin & Stewart etc had to hang around out of shot (you do actually see Stewart at the beginning of the clip)
basically they did a start & drove a couple of laps, then stopped for a while then were asked to just do a few more laps, basically just driving around. the kids were basically asked to focus on a car & hold onto a transmitter for the sake of the filming & they just picked Lewis as the alleged winner of the imaginary race
i was told about this when the clip was just thought to be long lost telly history never to be seen again! strange now its been dug up is the cause of a few discussions. plus its funny how they had some psycholgist analysing the footage & remarking on how intense Lewis was & how he only smiled when he won LOL
Lewis & his little brother do still race occasionally though at the Ware track near Stevenage. i think Cradock has hooked them up with some Kyosho gear
