Default Any one going to Prodrive this weekend?

Got my slot booked on the Sunday. Really looking forward to it, just hope the weather doesn't spoil the experiance.
Anyone else going?
I beleve you get to drive a RB320 as well as the rest of the Subaru range.

I think think the skid pans going to be interesting

A few of us from the Essex lot did the RB320 test drive during the Autosports show a fortnight ago at Prodrive. The skid pans were great , Tiny even managed to get a power slide going on the circular track
If you can, ask if you can do a brake test with the ABS switched on and off, it shows how much of a life saver ABS can be.

On the main test track you'll be amazed how late you can really leave your braking too.

We only spent about an hour and a half there, but it did give a taster of what you do during a full day. Mind you at £250, it does have to a special occasion.
