ive done this twice,it was great fun :yahoo:
the instructors were realy good, especialy the 2nd one he was pushing me to go faster,
i ended up there fastest pupil on each ocasion :D
slicks have sooooooo much grip.
only bumer is having to wait to overtake slow people,but all good.

I got a v8 race experience for my 30th last week also. Looking forward to it. I hope my instructor tells me to go faster!!

It's amazing how much brakes and suspension can change a car.

My missus bought me one as well. Good fun, just don't expect v8 supercar level performance.

Done it a couple of times.
Both Calder and Sandown.

Calder was better, they gave a bit more guidance to help you improve. pushed you deep into the brake zones etc.

Sandown was obviously a much better track, but the instructor didnt really do much.

Did it at QR too Patto, though it was years ago so in an AU.

Cornering on the combo of cage, suspension and slicks blew my mind.

yeah i couldnt believe how i could push it in the corners.
i did mine in 09 and 11,8 laps first time/13 the next(got told id have to do the 13 in two hits,but got luky and did them all at once)
so i got to get some good laps in, brakes were fading on last lap.i ended up 2.5 seconds slower than my instrutors best time he
said i did very well :good: i had an absolute blast; best time was a 108.4
cheers patto
