Palmer Motorsport Sensation

[telford_mike]

Anyone done one of these recently? Just had a call from a salesman offering me a place on one.

is that where you get to drive all their cars? how much?

 

[philip]

theyre meant to be very good and you drive a cup with sequential box etc. Several friends have done it and recommended I did it too. How much is he asking for and when. Id like to join if hes got a good deal and timings right

 

[telford_mike]

This one will be a freebie paid for by a grateful supplier. Its never easy for me to find time for this stuff but it does sound very tempting....

 

[philip]

go for it. when is it?

 

[telford_mike]

Dunno yet - waiting for an email. Dont think I could resist the opportunity to make a complete @rse of myself in those motors.

Mike i get to go on one each year with a supplier in work (roll on september!!) If you pay for it its about £700 ish for the day. its superb!!

First time i went there were the following S2000, Lotus Exige , Caterham R500 ,TT, Integra Type R, VX220, er Vaux Frontera (Yawn) Best of all..Single Seat Palmer Sport Car (Audi TT motor in 500KG..fast..) Last year was much the same but no TT or Integras, instead Cup Racer & Evo VII... They encourage you to go as hard as fu$k from the word go... Its on an airfield so theres loads of run off... (i know i lost an Evo @ just under 120mph completely, the instructor just laughed his nads off...Looking forward to the Cup racer again this year to compare to the road Cup & the Dogs bollox jag racer thats new this year 0-100 in 8 seconds or something daft 3.0 V6 in an egg crate.... Get it done its a top day!
