Time for my Red Letter Day 911 driving experience.

Should be fun even though you only get 10-15 minutes actual fast laps.


I'm sure you'll be able to bear it if you close your eyes and imagine it
is a rear engined Skoda. (c;

Enjoy.


It was ****ing awesome. By the second lap I was overtaking stuff. But
then some of the people seemed slow, even in F550 and F360s.

Pricing wise it was a rip-off, you got a 20 minute briefing, a 3 lap
demo car 3 up in a Focus ST, then 3 laps in whatever car you had booked,
in my case a 997 911. 3x1.8 mile laps in 2.25minutes. Didn't see much
more than 90 on the speedo at any one time. But I didn't look at it that
often, and it is amazing how short a straight finishes even at that
speed. Felt slow, but it mustn't have been as was passing people
including the demo cars which seemed faster as a passenger.
