Indeed, I rented a BMW race car in which I managed to get my lap time 4 minutes faster than on the first day. (someone else was timing me without my knowledge.)

Getting the BMW was the best thing I ever did, which built my confidance without risking my car.

By Tuesday I was getting to grips with the lines so took my car on.

The handling on track is simply amazing, and makes the car come to life.

Most importantly I came home without so much as a stone chip, which is my top priority!

Will review more when I get a chance

Take em off of you want mate but the amount of protection underneath it will be fine.

Leave it for me to sort out, on any unprotected car they will be difficult to get off but not on the RS

The beauty of me cleaning it mate is that once shes all minty again, you have to just go ragg the **** off her again, it just gives you an excuse to go back to the ring
