It's a great day out Ask for Mike Wood to take you around in the Prodrivelive car

BTW Prodrive disconnect the Brake Servo, so you better build some muscles in you Legs your going to need them.

I have driven round there test track but not in a rally car but in a track car and a Citroen C5 http://www.citroen.co.jp/newc5/index.html

It's a fun track with raised parts in the tarmac to test the rally suspension and high banking

Have fun

Mick,
Corperate Days are the dogs

Two things are certain

A) Your going to have loads of FUN around the Rally section.
B) You'll be very well looked after, Prodrive are excellent Hosts.

[brag]I've been quite lucky, been Banbury visits twice and Warwick about four times [brag/]

Here a couple of Pics
