Our goal now is to have new star lab satellites launched every couple of years. thank you so much forjoining us in our lab tour today. earlier on, i met sam schmidt, who took me for a few laps at goodwood. now he has challenged me to do a faster lap than him, he can reach 128 mph using just his head and his mouth. now he has challenged me to do a faster lap than him, meet with conventional controls at him with his controls. if this goes wrong, make sure they edit it kindly. i've spoken to some of the team here and they say, you know the black stuff on the track, stay on that. thanks.

I'm actually a much better driver than that with normal controls, i promise you. i think that's a challenge, then. why don't you do a lap with the normal controls, i'll use my controls, we'll see who's faster. umm... can i phone a friend? 0h, hi. hey, lara, so, yeah, it's me. sam's just challenged me to do a lap of the track — me using standard controls and sam using his controls to see who's fastest. what do you think? my money's on him. he is a race car driver — you do know that? yes, i am aware of that. thank you. wish me luck. good luck. and don't break anything! you said that last tim...
