    Just to add to my original post, we will have use of the High Speed Circuit and Tarmac Rally Stage ...

    HIGH-SPEED CIRCUIT

    Within the proving ground we have prepared a 1.5 mile high
    speed circuit.

    This has been designed to test the handling characteristics of a car and to help teach drivers how to set up and balance a vehicle through a wide range of corners and chicanes and on surfaces which emulate those found on public roads. The circuit is ideal for driver development and demonstrating the capabilities of a vehicle as it has wide run off areas. Where appropriate, the circuit can be tailored so that specific manoeuvres can be incorporated.

    TARMAC RALLY STAGE

    This tight and twisty mile-long circuit is designed to show off the agility of a vehicle with some adverse cambers strategically placed to help unsettle a car.

    The lower speeds of this circuit help demonstrate how to set a car up for slow corners and how to use the brakes to help steer a car.

    **Should be an ideal opportunity for anyone owning a high performance car, on how to drive/handle their vehicle.

    Anybody interested in coming along please either PM me or reply to this post.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Yeah we've all had a job of getting hold of him and a few still haven't managed it.
    We are trying to get an alternative contact who might be a bit easier to get.

    I have put various photos up in a seperate album in my profile. Feel free to pilfer.

    I think you could spend hours creating a car magazine shot like the below, just fell in place naturally.
