http://tomscott.com - @tomscott - A filming drone, video goggles, a Mazda MX-5 Miata and a disused airfield. Paul and Oli compete to answer the question: can you drive in a third person view?

The stunts in this video were performed by trained drivers on a closed course. Do not try this at home.

Paul is on Twitter at @cr3 and http://cr3ation.co.uk - Oli's at @coldclimate and http://www.theapproachablegeek.co.uk/

Thanks to our aerial filming crew, Neil and Rob from Skypower, http://skypower.co.uk - they stepped in at very short notice to make it happen!
