You're doing 4 laps, if it's this 'experience day' here.

Just be smooth and let the electronics look after you.

And remember, if you put it into a barrier, the guy next to you will probably smack you  :grin:

Let's be honest here - they're putting you on an airfield.

The cones will tell you where to go on the day, but I wouldn't get too excited.

Was a good day out, bar the terrible weather of course..

What can i say, the car drives itself reallly!?
Paddle shift with throttle on and the cpu does all the maths etc, i managed to get it to 120mph on a straight  :tongue:

Had as much fun chasing a mini cooper S in the valver down the country lanes, on the way back! :grin:

Was it any good? My Dad is an instructor for the red letter day things at bruntingthorpe aerodrome and does some work for pro-drive and he says they tend to just let you get on with it. My bro went on an aston martin day there for his birthday last year and the instructor was almost begging him to give it proper beans, letting him get the back end out n all that stuff. Got a dvd from inside both a db9 and v8 vantage, looked like a right good laugh.

Think it must vary on what company is running the event and what circuit its on, I would hate to spend all that money just to turn up and be told I have gotta stick to like 4000 rpm and 100mph or something
