Default Prodrive Tour Part II

I am not sure if anyone will be interested in this or not. I have spoken to silverstone and asked if there is anything that they can do for us during the afternoon of the Prodrive tour with a limited budget.

I am pleased to say that for 15 of us they are prepared to lay on 2 single seat cars and 2 instructors from 1pm until we get tired. This will be an autotest type set up with cones, slides and handbrake turns. This is normally rather expensive but I have managed to negotiate a rate of £69 each. Barely £14-00 per month between now and the date.......

This is not only open to the people coming on the prodrive tour but obviously you won't be able to come with us.

Can you let me know if you are able to do this as I need to call them back....

Would be well up for this but for one, not so small, detail.....
Single seat race cars don't normally accept (how can I put this?) those of us with "Big bones". Unless you know where to get hold of some industrial sized shoe horns.

I'm not sure what the cars are, single seat (as in mini formula 1 style) cars don't normally do autotest stuff. You should be ok.

Just spoken to Silverstone, the car will be a formula 1st and has more room than a caterham apparently. Should be no problem for us I wouldn't have thought.....

I'll only open it for those on the prodrive tour at the moment, but if any of them don;t fancy the silverstone trip then anyone else is free to come on the silverstone trip.

I must stress that the prodrive trip is NOT dependent upon also booking the silverstone trip, entirely independent you're prodrive trip is guaranteed unless you choose not to come (or don't pay me).

Probably best reserved for one of the meets. Briefly it involves a Honda Fireblade, a bridge, blood and a lengthy hospital stay. If you think Evel Knievel broke a lot of bones......... think again.

Anyway, back on track. Anyone else from the Prodrive tour up for this?
