Liam Fitzgerald,
I have never driven a car as quickly as this. Nudging 130 mph while 6 inches from the tarmac is an experience you can dream of, doing it is something else. We were nursed around the opening laps by racing drivers who were giving up their spare time to help us amateurs. A few laps of bedding-in and we were able to get serious. A quick stop in the pits and we were out again, our silky smooth one seaters sweeping-by gurgling V8 monsters. Time to push it to the top. The track looks smooth from the stands, but when you're cranking up the power through the four gear crash-box (synchromesh has no place here) into the big black tyres that dominate your mirrors, you sense that nothing is smooth at this speed. The car vibrates. As you floor the gas to keep up with the Pro your teeth literally clatter together, the mirrors vibrate and you really can't see behind you, but hey-what's behind you isn't your concern. Arms and legs get tired and each corner is getting more difficult. You know the line but getting on it isn't that easy. Has the pro eased-off a little to help you around? I hope not. At the end the instructor asks how much fun it was. It's hard to answer when you're grinning so much.

Hi thanks for you follow up after my trip to Rockingham. It was a great day out and I really enjoyed myself as did my family who came with me. My wife had a ride in the NASA car 175 mph which she said was awesome. We will be going again possibly to try a different circuit. Thanks to all your team for a great day out and a great service.
