i keep meaning to book a test drive in one, i know everyone say's they need more power but thats why they released them on prius tyres, hard as hell so limited grip

me to i have a photo like yours ant lol

[Ant_MK]

Sweet mate! had you been before?

[little dave]

just the once but will be going back my mates are all going this comin tuesday but due to work i cant go sadly it was funny to see the amount of interest it had from the locals even tho it was surronded by ferrari's and such like lol

[Ant_MK]

You're telling me! I went with 4 others in RX-7's & soooo many were stopping to look, ask & take photo's of the cars, it's difficult to buy the cars over there due to strict MOT & emission laws. So the locals love it!

[little dave]

dam good fun tho and cant wait to have another go

im going again next week

[morgey]

jelous you guys took your car's but its a bloody good insentive to go back next year with mine, i did see two Gt's whilst i was out there one black one white.

the highlight for me though had to be asking for a lap in a 911 GT2, after not getting very succesful in asking for a lap in a couple of other cars, i get in and after getting half way round a very quick first lap and then he asks if i want to go round a few more times before track time closes! too which i gladly said yes, 3 laps sub 8 minutes in a 650-700hp porcshe on slicks with ceramic brakes (all for free ).... no rollercoaster even came close to the thrill that i had clinging onto the door handle, feet hard pressed to the floor trying to stop me getting thrown around the cabin of it (still only had standard seatbelts lol), absolutely insane, but when you've done 1000 laps of the place you know it like the back of your hand i guess. absolutely awsome experience cant imagine ill ever lap it that quick again!

[little dave]

That's cool mate was that the full track with the grand prix circuit or just the ring itself

[morgey]

That was just the ring, the gp circuit was 40 euros for 20min session and it was just mayhem, there was no track eticuit at all cars and bikes going 3-4 deep into the hairpin at the end of the pit straight!!!

[Malcolm GT]

When I drove my car there all the way there and whilst there peopl just looked as obviously a rare sight a GT there. Nice time I'm going to make sure I ask for laps off people.

Morgey where did u ask? In the car parks?

[morgey]

Yea any jap hot hatch is a rare sight tbf and in the two car parks at the track entrance, the left hand one is the better as its easier to enter the track from, either ask if there parked or queuing but have been round a few times, and have a lap on a card and offer to pay for the lap as a kind gesture after all your asking them to use and abuse their car, tyres, brakes etc so even if u dont use the lap atleast u have offered to pay for it ;)

Oh and have a helmet to hand aswel ;)
