[XRLaurie]

I've just got some details of supercar rides at Dunton test track in September, so I will paste these in below in case anyone here is interested. This track day is not for your own car but you can have a ride as a passenger in a supercar:



Our hugely popular Track Day is back for its third year and promises to be bigger and better with even more attractions for the whole family including fun fair, bouncy castles, driving simulator, driving competition, car show, food and lots more, as well as the now infamous super car rides around the prestigious Ford, banked test track.

There will be over 50 amazing cars ready to give you the drive of your life, ranging from Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Ford GT's, Ariel Atom's, KTM's to name a few.

Think I might have to take a look at this seeing it is only down the road

I've just asked for a bit more information on the cars that might be there. This is the reply, and as I get any more information I'll add it:

'Its always hard to say exactly what cars will be there on the day as you never know exactly who is going to turn up, but we always have about 60 different super cars with a wide range of Ferraris and Lamborghinis, a few Caterham super 7’s, Dodge Viper, a couple of Ford GT’s, Cobra, Noble, Aston Martin Vanquish, KTM, Arial Atom, Corvette, others still coming through.'

Why not bring the whole family down with attractions such as full size Funfair, Go Karts, Driving Simulators, Inflatable’s and Classic Car Show.

Think I might have to go down for a look 

[XRLaurie]

Just found out via email we can display our cars. If you go along just say you're for the display. Sorry for the late notice. Next year perhaps we can tell them PBF will display there?

[XRLaurie]

Now I know the 'lay of the land' I think this might be a great event for PBF to attend next year. A few were there that were at Battlesbridge and the A127 Diner meet too, in their classic car display area. There was plenty of space too. I only got to hear of this last minute. Anyway, here is a video to whet your appetite for next year. And I got to have a passenger ride at 120mph in the Dodge Viper (car 92). Eight litres of American muscle. Not bad, for a non-Ford. He, he....
