I'm surprised you got the helmet over all the extra hair you're sporting at the moment.

Awesome stuff. 

I did a similar thing at Brands last year, loved it. It was the first time I've ever been in a single seater.

It is amazing isnt it... you can throw them around (or at least thats what it feels like) and they just take it.

Did these a couple of years back.  Pissed off it was raining though.  Still great fun.

Ooooh, must try that this summer. Haven't driven a single seater in years.

Craziest thing I have ever driven on a track was a Superkart. On a just over 1 min lap, I was over 10 seconds off the pace on my fastest lap, but it felt like I was going way too fast. Incredible things. I think the guy whose spare kart it was passed me just before I started my 5th lap, hahahahahahaha.

I directly followed one of the 370Zs around and when before he went into the pits he did a massive power slide around one of the corners!

I had a go on the formula first at knock hill, thought that it was the best thing ever, brilliant fun !
Anyway a few months later I had my car on the track ( one where an instructor instructs you in your own car )
The formula first were on at the same time, i thought to my self I'm going to look right a right Div here with these flying past me all over the place, but it was the other way arround, on the corners and the straights we were going past them like they were not even there. I think the ones at knockhill must be pretty slow or de tuned, but still give the impression of speed. I can even remember the MGs going past them, i was quite surprised as they felt pretty quick when I drove them, obviously the ones at silverstone are a different kettle of fish
