Great fun. The instructors push you to go as fast as possible. Make sure you pay attention to the briefings and make sure you are in the right
position in the car before going out. When I did the Palmer Audis my elbows where between my sides and the cockpit....and in the three-four laps you
get I wore away the skin under the race suit, had to visit the medical centre to get patched up. So, as I say, make sure you are comfortable in the
car before going out.

I was gutted, when my mate was invited there, on a corporate day 2 weeks ago. He really is NOT into cars at all BUT he said it was amazing. They push
you to go as fast as possible, and he said he would not have believed you could drive a car that fast. He actually sounded like he really enjoyed it.
For someone who was a bit underwhelmed by a corporate weekend with all passes and hospitality to the spa F1 a few years ago then he must have had a
ball.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

It is amazing, loads of driving time and they want you to go as fast as possible 
Even the foods good as well.

Been once on a corporate trip, really enjoyed it as stated they want you to go as fast as you can. The only down side is I have to listen to it going
on when the wind is in the right direction

Is it a full day of driving or a lot of waiting interspersed with some driving?

I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,
but this jacket makes it impossible.
