I was at Brands a couple of weeks ago on a VXR driving day. There was a Ring edition VXR being driven by an ex BTCC driver giving hot laps.
It ran constantly from 9am till 1pm, then 2pm till 5pm. Off the limiter at every change and never missed a beat all day.
It was road spec running road rubber and was driven to Brands and had been used the day before for exactly the same thing.
It made me realise just how much stick those things can take, and even the professional driver was impressed by how much fun it was.

It didn't persuade me to a buy a new Vauxhall, but certainly opened my eyes to the whole VXR range spending 2 hours just driving the complete range (Corsa, Merive, Astra, Zafira, Vectra and the VXR80), and I'd deffo consider one 2nd hand when my wifes chops her VW GTi.

Sounds just like my 1996 328i track car with 110,000 miles then

They appear to be great value........go for it.

No pics from me I'm afraid but there was a photographer there so they'll get posted up somewhere in a few days. Watch the Abingdon thread in JISC.
