I did this Tuesday, was the best day ever.
Just highlights the fact that pro race drivers are pretty good at their jobs

Paid extra for some high speed laps with a pro driver in a more sorted version of the JP LM car, talk about late braking.....awesome day.

I shall be going again!.

I thought about doing this for my birthday this year but at nearly £1k for the day I can't unless someone else is paying and no one has volunteered yet.

I'll keep suggesting it for a team building exercise

It was my first go at Palmersport but I do like a track day or 2 in my car
Look it up in my profile and you will see why
I would love to go again and feel I could improve on my times now I know the score
