My parents once bought me a track day at Thruxton. Started off in Rover 220 turbos and graduated up to formula ford single seaters and then had a go in a formula renault..

Pretty tame, unfortunately, due to the low rev limits set >:(

Anyway, my Mum came along to watch and they were offering rides  round the track for a few quid. Mum thought this would be interesting and, not being particularly car savvy, thought nothing of it as she was strapped into the passenger seat of a works prepped rover SD1 Vitesse ;D

Needless to say I think they lapped everything else on the track and she came back a nervous wreck ;D

That reminds me, I have a 4x4 day to take in the next couple of months.
Birthday pressy from the family last year.

Probably a Formula Palmer Audi single seater round Brands Hatch. Although restricted to 6000rpm (if you took any notice!! ::)) it was blisteringly quick and stuck to the track like glue. Managed to post the second fastest lap of the day. :y

Fastest road cars I've driven is probably my boss's Jag XKR 4 litre supercharged V8 - an absolute animal!! and my mate used to have an AC Cobra replica powered by a 4.5 litre Mustang engine mated to a Toyota 5 speed gearbox. Plant your right foot and it was like being kicked in the back by a horse. :y

My chum has recently sold his E55...now that was scary fast. He had a de-cat zorst and a few other tweaks done to it...including the removal of the speed restrictor. Last year, he got 201mph on the German autobahn on GPS.
