Any more takers for this?

A few more details from someone who did it in 2007:

There were 12 cars in each session, so there was a group of 4 cars per activity. The first pass is with the instructor as passenger in each car, telling you what to expect. You are then left to get on with it for as many runs with the four cars in about 1 hour. I probably had about 5+ goes on each activity, in between which I parked up and watched the rest of the group and took photos.

I didn't feel at all like I was hanging around for my time as turn-around is quite quick and watching other peoples skidding misfortunes makes time fly.

There were no hard and fast rules about passenger/observer numbers, who was in the car with the driver or even who was the driver.

At moment just add name(s) to the scoobynet thread - plenty of space on the morning session still, which is the one I'm doing. Guess he'll be asking for payment once the booking is confirmed with the circuit.

I'm interested in learning more about my RA in the adverse conditions. At the extremely wet Debden sprint last year I was happy as larry with the diff wound 3/4 of the way forward, and that was before I had the suspension fully sorted. I wasn't quick, but that was more to do with circuit familiarity and my speed of learning than anything else. Keen to see the effect of different settings, without wanting to complicate the picture TOO much!
