problem is mate, is that for insurance and safety reasons they can only go 70-80% pace anyway... and if the stewards see them getting out of shape of locking brakes or anything like that they will get slapped with a massive fine.
Last race I raced it was my first time to the track and my first session was a sponsor/media ride where I took my dad. The track was wet as, and the window was so fogged up I couldn't see a thing - I was going about 50% pace, I ran off the track a little bit and after that I was called up and I was lucky enough to sweet talk my way out of it - but they were going to slap me with a pretty hefty fine (something around $3,000, I think)...
Anyway, I've taken people for drives in my car doing about 80% and scared the hell out of them, and my car is no where near a supercar spec, so I reckon it will be a blast they are amazing things you'll have a ball. Have fun
hmm, well I'm starting work experience with a well known supercar hotlaps company called 'Fastrack racing' and I can tell you they are definitely not stickered up ss's. Having said that, they are not v8supercar spec... v8's cost a lot of money to run, and things need to be replaced often. If the cars I think you will be going in are the same, then if you haven't been on a racetrack before, then you're in for a surprise
Todd Kelly would be one of the best drivers to get a ride from. He's got so much knowledge about the cars (engineering and driving) and he seems really down to earth. Great to hear you enjoyed it
Yeah, great guy... and it was his race car i rode in, which was indescribable, the noise, the power, the speed. I was literally speechless for some time afterwards.
He is very intense, It was like sitting next to Hannibal Lecter in the car...just a dark emotionless pool of precision, I could tell his heart rate didnt budge one beat faster in the car while i was sqealing like a little girl(on the inside).
They were doing Minardi x2 seater f1 rides at the same time which was awesome. I had a chat to P Stoddard and McConville and got to within touching distance of the Minardi.
Funny thing was there was this middle aged lady around 50 doing a lap with Minardi, got to give her props, thats a brutal ride!!
