Hi everyone.

Did the above experience today at the Prodrive track near Kenilworth.

Not sure if the owner of the Atom posts on here but he was a top guy who genuinely enjoyed seeing his car being driven so that you got the most out of it. Absolutely no problems with letting you red line the car as is often the case with many of these experience events.

If any one wants to try an Atom out and experience the savagery then I cannot recommend this place enough!! (Although im sure that many of you guys already know this)

I was actually taken back when he told me that no one who had driven the car on this day gave it full throttle. Just couldn't look where i was going and lookat the rev counter as it went so damn quick! I also did the Caterham which was equally brilliant (though in a different way) felt as though I was getting racing lessons.

Sorry to ramble on but I will never forget this one!

If anyone knows the owner of this car on the official Atom website then please hyperlink this over to there for me.

Roll on my next birthday!

6th gear experience. Recommended!!

Cheers

I loved the atom thg to be honest I probably got more out of the Caterham Mike because it wasnt so over whelming (if you know what i mean). The Caterham was extremely quick but I also got the extra tuition to give more confidence through the bends to the point where I was still braking far too early (with the instructor telling me to re-apply the gas past the brake boards). Thanks for the experience. Hope to see you again soon!
