PalmerSport - 11 Sept
Discussion
The event is designed for all skill levels so beyond the basic instructions in the invite that you're likely to have received just make sure you listen to the safety briefing carefully and the single seater briefing. The instructors will do the rest of the guidance. Have a great day. I am sure it will be.

Let us know how you get on too, I've been wanting to do a Palmer sport day for a long time, just too expensive for now.
For some reason the Clio cup car is the one that really tickles my fancy out of the current range, that and the radical type thing.
Just do it, it’s bloody brilliant! For some reason the Clio cup car is the one that really tickles my fancy out of the current range, that and the radical type thing.
Although I didn’t particularly enjoy the Clios - perhaps due to the instructor being a bit overzealous on the dual controls.
The FPA and F3000(?) are mind blowing.
Definitely one of the best days I've had.
One of many highlights for me was the Caterham - in my (cack) hands it had a propensity for spinning but just felt so nimble.
For some reason didn't really get on with the Clio, and finished about 10 places down compared with the other cars.
The timing adds a nice competitive touch too!

Me too! Did you find the instructor inputs on the dual control obtrusive?(I did also manage to spin the Clio, but we'll gloss over that...)
Going! - Alas going week before this Saturday 4th Sept
Its my 50th pressie so looking forward to it massively. I thought it was too expensive tbh and didnt want to go on my own (had enough of that working at home with covid) but the missus secretly booked it.... and to make sure i wasnt on my dot she booked herself on it too. Seriously woman WTF, i could of gone twice!

Damn, I thought you were older than me! Its my 50th pressie so looking forward to it massively.
Do you do the Palmersport thing when you got you VX?
Seriously, it’s not expensive - it’s a bargain! It is a lot of money though…

It is so bloody good, actually good value despite the price!
As others say, listen to instructors and fight the urge to brake early….you will brake so late and so hard you won’t believe it. Really bury the pedal….both on accelerating and braking.
On the single seaters get some clean space in front of you so you can really go for it
