Just got back from Prodrives test circuit in Warrickshire...drove the brand new 2.5ltr Impreza STI Type UK around a few circuits & also a Mazda RX8 for a few laps at the start of the day.....

scooby was mint althou not as quick as i would have hoped....pretty stock only prodrive ECU..shame would have responded very wel with a turbo back exhaust and air filter....nevertheless it was still ok.....very torquey...pulled in the higher gears so easily....not as lairy as the other previous versions....no big vent etc....

fantastic day out...had james winslow as the tutor...top bloke....

scarey

did you get to try out the tarmac rally stage and skid pan?

did a driver training day up there about 7 months ago before first trip to the 'ring and was fantastic!!

they even set up GT4 for us to practice with whilst the cars were resting, complete with phil mill's carbon fibre bucket seat

did the skid pan..that was such a laugh...did a few doughnuts n 360...rx8 was more fun for that....

scooby was wikid round the track....combined the 2 circuits near the end and got a long stretch of road..really opened it up..got upto 140-150....

top day....

scarey

would recommend this day to anyone even if I did get 80 miles from a tank of optimax and melted my brakes!

Jamie Wall was the instructor we had

scarey

oh and I only did 360s on the skidpan and unfortunately have the video to prove it

big_xavier

would like a go at that myself..

scarey

my day was organised by a chap off p1woc and is fantatsic but not going to say who cos I don want to step on toes

scarey

yeah mine got a good workout but as we were there cos we were both going on our first track day we wanted to know lthe limits of ourselves and our scoobs.

needless to say scoobs won aboult 10:1 on ability

Tchort

Yep top day out at prodrive, felt a bit sick when i was in the back of scareys car when he was hoofing it about, you realy miss the bucket seats in the back.

lol james was doing these 360 deg turns in the skid pan...it was so spinning around so quickly!!! felt so dizzy when he stopped....

good thing was about yest that we where the only 2 on the track so it was really good....

if anyone can do it id def advise it...fantastic day out and well worth the money.

if there was any doubt in my mind about what my next car is im def buying a scooby as soon as i sell my GT4! sti RA preferably
