Cars are slow, but loud, and the falacy of wearing a driving suit makes it semi real.

Regardless, your out on track belting a car around, so thats always going to be good.

Funny you should say that Alex...I've heard exactly the same thing strangely enough!!

btw...the drifting is instructors-only I'm afraid...we have to leave the traction control on for drivers....but saying that you can still have good fun driving to the T/C limit.

The current cars, erm vy's/vz's? i can't remember., i just get in and drive like the others here, are about to be retired, as they're getting on a bit, brand spanking VE's are about to be delivered to replace the current cars, they're meant to be there now but theres been a few delays, hopefully by the time you get to use your voucher, the VE's will be in action

I saw one of the VE's at Kerry Wade's a while ago- no traction control!

He was saying how easy it was to spin the rears- i reckon they went back for that because that would have made for some interesting laps in the hands of the punters.

the VE's have traction control, theres no way they'd run cars without it, as there would be countless spins, and the amount of tyres they'd go through would be insane...

Hoppus
As you can tell there are a few of us who work part time at AHG, in the V8's

How many laps did you get? I think they are still booked out about 3 months in advance so book in ASAP. As long as I am not the co-driver, remember when you get in to say: Wow a stick shift...I have never driven one of those

Btw did we mention they have great instructors
