has anyone been on one of these days from supercar lifestyle?
ive just had the lass call up to tell me im not longer going to blyton park but now the mira circuit which is over 2 hours away.. checked the track map and it looks pretty fucking boring..
anyway i was looking at the cars on the site and it says you can drive the ascari kz-1r gt3 but every vid ive seen so far has been somone being a passenger, also the same in the atom..
anyone confirm that you can actually drive these?

How is MIRA duller than Blyton? MIRA has gradients!

Spoke to them today, not allowed to drive the ascari as its passenger ride only. Also not allowed to drive the ariel atom as its 'too dangerous'
Im going to cancel it.. No point in my eyes now.

thing is you get 2 laps in 3 cars.
and the only cars i want to drive i cant wow i get to drive a ferrari 360 and even then not at full pace.. watching the vids telling you to slow down 5 years before the corner.
not my cuppa tea.. yea if i could drive the ascari i wouldnt mind because its not everyday you can drive one.. but the rest.. pish.. i could rent one for the day cheaper.

They arent as.they do teach you the basics of.track driving. If it was compulsory to do one of these before.being allowed.on track unsupervised, then there wouldnt be so many morons om the.track.

unsupervised would be silly but maybe allow you more freedom or base it on how much experience you have

How can they measure experience and then check that it's not made up?

a couple of sighting laps would be fine, obviously if someone went blagging they were a decent driver, ala paul j, then they would be tripped up if they had a couple of sighting laps to judge the skill
