Just after some advice re driving experiences.

I have got one coming up, 430 Scuderia experience at Thruxton, according to the literature I get to drive the follow:
3 laps – Cayman
3 laps – 430 Scud
3 laps – Formula Renault Single seater

The question I have is will I be allowed to really open up the 430 and give it a good hiding or will I be limited, eg 4k rpm limit or something equally as silly?
Also the other thing is when I called up to confirm they said that the cars listed may not be available and will be swapped for similar models, im worried the 430 scud will be swapped for a standard 430, (which is not a bad thing), but I really fancy driving the scud.
What are the chances of a company dressing a standard 430 up to look like a scuderia?

With regards to the single seater, again will this be limited to a certain speed / rev range? If so how can they enforce it, ok with the 430 the instructor can tell you to slow down but how can they do that with a single seater?

As a track what is thruxton like?

Are they ok with you wanting to take cameras to record the day?
