Sounds good!
I once won a Bowler Wildcat driving experience but nobody ever got back to me about it. Still chasing it up now...
If anyone want's to know more about MIRAs 'secret' facilities, check out their public website...

http://www.mira.co.uk/facilitiesWell done. One of my mates (a PH'er) has won the seemingly the same prize. Hmmm - I wonder how many runners up/winners there were...
Edited to add that he reckons he's a runner up too

I'm one of the many who's also received this runners up prize. Not sure a what to make of it. Evo forum is saying that there's a £199 damage waiver fee, and the day is spent in the car with three others, and they were cagey with how much wheel time you actually get for your (£199) prize...

Piss take. So it is free, but £199 for the insurance.
I'm sure they have covered themselves, but this seems incredibly like it must break some prize rules or something? Congrats you are ALL runners up, for a prize; please pay £199 to collect it.
Scammier than a Nigerian lotto payout.

FWIW, the dry and wet handling tracks you'd have been shoved on at MIRA aren't the best tracks in the world. Very narrow and short.

I've just emailed asking for clarification on the cost of the "prize". I'm sure they have covered themselves, but this seems incredibly like it must break some prize rules or something? Congrats you are ALL runners up, for a prize; please pay £199 to collect it.
