You'll have a great time Alpine, you really get to see what these cars can do.
If you get a chance to go for flying laps at the end with an instructor, try and jump in with Geoff Brabham, the guys nuts..lol but in a controlled way! Dont forget the camera and video and post pics here. |

We ended up in a sedan but there are coupes there as well. All the vehicles have the 18's on them. You get to pick if you want DCT or manual.
Even the 325's we were driving in the morning were pretty good too. But after lunch is when it gets exciting. |

Congrats, mate. Wish I could do the equivalent of PI over here (locally). I do have a 'track 25 mins from the front door, though. Enjoy!

C Ya there SPQR, we will be the couple in the Astra vert hire car (looked at hiring a Lambo Murci, couldn't cash up for the $8.5k PER DAY rate )
Thanks guys, will post some shots for sure. Can't wait to see the look on my wife's face when she gets to drift an M, it will be GOLD. |

I promise not to destroy all of the cars, even if I did .... I am sure they would have them repaired by December. I'm excited! Thanks for the video teasers |
