The track is not a race track, so the barriers are pretty close, and you have to stay in lane (4 of them) round the corners but great fun. We went out in two groups. I passed loads of cars, and only got passed by one -the 911 C4S, which absolutely monstered me down the main straight! He hit 162mph...

 

I took my boss out and after the first corner where he was very scared he really enjoyed it

Sounds like a great car park at work. Do you employ anyone with a 'normal' car, or is that not allowed !!

Thought one of the people driving looked familiar, and have just Googled him. He was head of Lotus Design when they did the original Elise, and is now Chief of Advanced Design for Jaguar.

 

He was driving his Dino 🥰
