Has anybody tried this through Caterham cars, 99 GBP for half day 169 for full. Is it worth it, it says 10 timed runs, but not whether that is a full day or half, and also what the average time of the run is?

Anybody know more?

This is what the PH slalom days are.

Its autotesting, for fun.
You get 2-4 timed runs over 4-5 courses which are about 30 secs each.
Each course features tight corners that you have to flick the backaround and the is the famous blue donut cone at the end. You finish by stopping in a garage. Hitting cones, going the wrong way, overshooting the garage and handbrake usage gives time penalties.

The cars are set up to oversteer (crap back tyres, ARB removed, raised rear susp etc) and its a bloody good fun day out. All the guys that run it are a good bunch and keep the banter going good all day.

At the end they let you take your own car round too.

(Merrick, can I have a free go now as commission?!)

It can turn out dangerously expensive though












But only because you really want one at the end (See my profile ppic)
