Virgin Experience Days - Drive an F1 car

[NobleLord]

Has anyone done this: clicky

My boss bought me this as a Christmas present... very nice... and was wondering if it's as good as it sounds?

Cheers,

That looks very much like a day I did at Mallory about 8-9 years ago. I got to drive a Tyrell.

It was a great experience. You should enjoy it a lot. 10 laps is far too short to get any measure of the car, but it's still a fantastic day out.

Thanks Ted. Mine's at Mallory too. Didn't you find the circuit a bit on the short side for an F1 car?

It's ok given that you're only doing a few laps. If you did on a long circuit I imagine the scope to get it wrong would be much greater.

Sounds like a good day out, might mention this to the wife (birthday in Feb) do you know if they put any unrealistic rev limits on the F1 car. Also I think I may prefer to familiarise in my Trev rather than the Beemer
