Spinning Donating Members 348 Member For: 15y 5m 1d Posted 24/08/13 08:53 AM Share Posted 24/08/13 08:53 AM For my birthday , my daughter and son purchased for me 7 laps as a driver of Sandown Park... It was a wet morning , and to be honest ,I was hoping when I called in , I had the recorded message confirmed that the day had been cancelled due to wet weather - but it wasn't , so I fronted with the family, smiling , but I must admit a little nervous as I did n't want to make a d _ _ k of myself. Sat through the driver briefing , and if you weren't a little nervous before heading out , you were now!!!!! . Got the jump suit on, helmet, and choose to drive the manual Ford !!! What Else ... Got in the car, BF XR8, with slicks and front rotors with calipers at both 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock ???? Never seen that before !!! First lap, foot on the brake and stopped what felt like a mile from the brake maker , and the driver sitting next to me assuring me , not to worry, it was wet, and understood it would take a lap to understand the car... Next lap, driver sitting next to me told me to brake later and really accelerate harder out of the exit to the exit cones... Exit cones sat on the painted curbs , and I didn't feel to comfortable with the slicks on the painted curbs!!! .Next lap and each proceeding lap , I had the driver sitting next to me, asking, begging me to brake harder!!!! Hahahah I was now overtaking everything on the track and was one with the car - then came the end of lap 7 and the driver asked that I now make my exit. You could have chiesled my fingers off the wheel , I didn't want to stop!!! It was so much fun - I have done a few days at Oran Park and Phillip Island in different cars , but I never had so much fun as today, trying to get a big heavy V8 around - especially moving the car down the hill on and off brakes , through fast turns in the wet... Would recommend it for anyone - interested in trying a V8 around a circuit. I have no idea what it would cost you to put your own car around the track , tyres, rotors , pads and admission - but this V8 experience allows you to jump in , test the water, and then drive it like you stole it - Wahooooooo!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
