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,

Sounds good. Any chance of a job, you have a very generous boss.

[Aubrey]

Wow that looks awesome!

What a great boss you've got. I've not done it, but I'd be very surprised if someone here hasn't. You could try posting it in Track Days/General Motorsport too?

You're right. He'll argue over the cost of a paper clip in business, but is very generous as a friend.

My boss is the same! He will argue over how much water is being used from the water machine but will be very generous on a personal level. The sign of a good businessman I assume.

I think you're right on that one. He'd made £60M by the age of 26 so he must be doing something right

No idea what my boss is worth but he drives an AM DB9, SC’d Range Rover and a very large house which comes with a Lord title.

Enjoy the F1 experiance. It looks great! I keep thinking of Hammond stalling it!

Just checked the paperwork. It's Mallory Park.

He could have coughed up for some more laps then!

On a serious note, that is one hell of a cool present to get from a boss.

Not jealous. At all. No siree!

I'm not sure who GD are, but no. I'm not allowed to say who I work for as the last time I did the mods thought I was advertising

I have a friend who did an F1 experience day a few years back - can't remember which one now - but he left feeling quite disappointed. There were lots of imposed conditions, and IIRC the engine wasn't that powerful. He felt like he'd just started to get the hang of it and then it was over.

Still if it hasn't cost you a penny, then VFM doesn't matter.

I dont think my Mrs understands the whole pistonheads/speed thing. She bought me a tank driving day. Ok yes tanks are fun and I will have a ball but I would much rather have something that goes fast on a track for a few hours....

I got a jumper and a comedy DVD (which is down on our love film list anyway). At least you got something fun.
