Ive seen track days cost more and that doesn't include tuition. I'd love to have a go round dunsfold too. Sadly, I need the cash to get
my engine running.

Yeah just re- read it slowly and noticed it only lasts 2 hrs, but still think it would be a laugh, especially if you get a copy of the video, imagine
doing a michael gambon in a 7

I've driven the track at dunsfold on a Lancer Register day.
I got 4 laps of the circuit and to be honest although it was a fun experience I wouldn't do it again, the time you get on the track means
you'll never learn the circuit enough to have a real go.
It's a very challenging drive with some very challenging corners and the follow through at 110 is damned scary

I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

You can beat them if you like. So long as it's consensual.

I cannot believe their price.There is no way in the world they can justify charging £222 for 2 hours. How much does that work out to in terms of
track-time per pound. They are not even using their cars. When I worked at Bedford Autodrome the circuit was hired out and probably still is, for
Summer's evenings at less than that with instructors on hand if required. there's acres of run-off, a 3 mile circuit and a straight long
enough to max anything. Now that's value!!
