To be honest I cant blame you. Mrs Gooby will see it differently and probably supply matching belly scars.

Have a good time.

Have fun. Did quite a few laps there this year in a hire car in the wet and even then it was great. I had the pleasure of a certain Mr Piquet with me and it was awsome to hear how much speed he was carrying in some corners compared with what can be achieved in a race car. As an example whilst you are hammering around think about the quick left on the back of the circuit just before the right / left S (its the one with the never ending run off area). In a good car this requires a good lift in 4th gear. In a F1 car this corner is taken in 6th gear at over 260kph, gives some perspective on how fast F1 cars are. Also just before the bus stop chicane a F1 car is doing over 320kph and yet they brake only 130m before the apex of the corner. As I say, have fun!
