Never done one, but keen to..

If its suitable for a newbie, then I'll give it a go..

Should I get some tuition first or can I get some there? Advice for a newbie please...

I've not done a track day in the S either - should be interesting!

Cheers

Well I used to own one, and I'm going!


I would consider your car extremely suitable for Folobrey!

I have been ! Was driving a Cerberra rather than an S, although I did go round with Ted and can confirm I would have loved to have taken an S round the circuit.

Personally I would say it is suitable for track day virgins as long as you don't go mad. That is the same for any circuit. The standard of driver courtesy was exceptional and there were no incidents more serious than reversing into a lamppost (that happened to the most expensive car there before we even got on track)

So go for it S guys, we do not see enough of them on track anywhere ! Let alone Frnace. I was originally taking the S, but then got offered the opportunity of the Cerberra, and what you going say ???

I did not break it ! It broke itself. I happened to be the driver at the time.

Bloody AJP engines !
