wanted to do the NASCAR exp in Florida but never had time, also Adam Petty died that same week so things wouldn't have been that bright and breezy. Next timeover over in the US i'll make sure to give it a go !!

Did this in 2000 at Richard Petty in Florida. A fantastic few hours, a real adrelanin pumper. Had several laps at over 140mph (ordered a tee-shirt with my lap times and printed photo to prove it!) and didn't want it to finish. The noise is fantastic and it's really weird to drive out of the pit straght with the steering wheel off-set to the left for the turns. Only criticism was that you can be held up if you're the second car behind the instructor.

Weren't they supposed to be setting up at Rockingham? Seem to recall £50 for three passenger laps?
