To be honest its a different set of skills.. I'd be too busy trying to take the best view rather than the best racing line. Some tranfereable stuff like car balance and smoothness etc but with regards what your looking for driving at speed on a road means it would slow you down on a track.

I'll be up for a proper run around a track, and that's without a car. Good old legs.hehe

Oh - not that kind of run. If God had intended us to run, he wouldn't have given us feet for pressing pedals.

It would be completely hilarious though...

...it'd probably make an excellent Top Gear style feature. "Cops vs" well not exactly robbers... rofl

Bedford Autodrome or Rockingham would be a good venue - with a range of "exercises" including an autotest, some timed laps, a slalom etc

I suspect the track drivers would probably give the TrafPol a spanking on the track.

Shame we can't do a response driving test... TrafPol vs Track Drivers!

Robbers set off first, Coppers a handful of seconds later.

Stinger/tpac/helicopters are all available to the Bib.

Can I use someone else's car, though? hehe

What about getting the cops into some old XJ6's while we the 'robbers' race ahead of them in some old Cortinas or Granadas, fake 'blag' bag in the boot, then onto a skid pan for some old style lairy oversteer chasing a la Professionals.

Losers get the first round in afterwards?

Winners will be the ones who crash through the cardboard boxes first?

I think we might be going somwhere with this.
I do belive chest wigs, fake permed hair, tashes and flairs should be the order of the day too.
Plus the coppers can call everybody 'slags' fot that added authenticity. thumbup

... on public roads...

The track drivers would end up stacking their vehicles pretty sharpish. Just look at how many world class racing drivers have met their maker on public roads.
