The cars are are best described as like going to an indoor kart track. You know where you get some that handle well and some that don't some with good engines some with donkies. However, ignor the fact and get on with the opportunity that Ron presents and you will have a great few days.

The only thing I would say though is have a few grands worth of credit on your card before you particularly if your used to the immensley flatering sticky track day tyres.

All in all its a great experience and tailored to your needs. I certainly learned the Ring significantly faster because of it.

Cheers Simon - did you just drive the 2 litres or do you get a go at the V6s as well?

Did someone on the course hit the barriers when you went?

My blog after doig it last year here: http://thecarlistblog.blogspot.com/2006/11/ringing...

In summary, its great if you get the track time, but try and do the initial learning by yourself first so you at least know the major corners.
