"Coming down" calls Team Dynamics technician Craig Smith moments before the air jacks are depressed and the Honda FK8 Civic Type R drops onto the Silverstone pitlane. As if a reminder as to what I'm about to undertake is required, dropping to the ground in such a fever-filled way with a Dynamics logo staring at me from the steering wheel could leave me in no doubt.
I'm about to get a taste of what it's like to drive a car fresh from competing in arguably the world's greatest tin-top series. This is the actual car that British Touring Car Championship legend Matt Neal raced last year and took to ninth in the points table.
