Saw the two have a race up Gladstone Tce in Penshaw once - up towards the tunnel.
The National had dropped off at the bottom of the hill, opposite the garage and the Metrorider overtook it (despite the 13 moving off).
The two continued like this (with the Metrorider on the wrong side of the road) for a short while.
Fortunately there were no parked cars like there are now and there was nowt coming down the hill.
