seem a decent enough outfit BUT.....

no lp640 (sorry I go the sv bit wrong), ascari gt3 or sagaris super sport....
and a 'day' with them transpired to be 2 hours and six laps, not as promoted...

at least it cost me nothing, but then i guess i got nothing either!

oh yes, hardsell was just like for a timeshare...... today only deals, partial payment plans, exclusive offers and prices.....

i genuinely would have signed up if they delivered all that was promised for this promo day....
well signed up for the ards tution package anyway.....

was underwhelmed by the tvr and in some ways the oakley prep gt3 also, and the instructor let me rev it at will..... man the s62 engine in the e39 m5 was good!

hi mate, certainly on the 'back straight' you are not rev restricted, and i am sure i red lined it.....

i really wanted to drive the lp640..... they will prob have there the oakley gt3, tvr, jag xkr and bmw m3.... if i waived my refund, a ferrari 430....

but they won';t let you push it around the bends, and in three laps you just don;t get enough familiarity with the car and track to do so anyway...

as i said, for free it is fun, esp being driven by mike wild in the ariel atom, i would go for the m3 and xkr in reterospect..... the gt3 has a sequential box (i messed a few changes up), and torque is not mega, so given revs restricted around bends, the m3 and xkr would be more fun....
