If you want to go one round really fast and don't want to kill your selve [ or kids/spouse] trying...

I've done one lap with Dale Lomas [ Jaguar testdriver ] it was really MAD...

We went in the XJR575 limmo [ yes, limmo..] , but they also have a F-Type SVR.. ..but that only takes one passenger...

€ 199,- per round.. .. he burns a set of tyres a day..

Ive driven the Ring a couple of times but under controlled access, but when you jump in with someone who knows their way around it is quite something ... I can only imagine for now what the next level must feel like when there is a properly sorted car with a professional driver at the helm ...
Storm Grey V6 coupe, fun, fast, popping and crackling with smiles all the way ... missed more than I expected!

C43 AMG estate, lots of toys, like the F-Type but with 4 seats and far more stealthy but still with pops and crackles!

My son has the https://www.assettocorsa.net/home-ac/ simulator for PC.
He has driven hundreds of laps on the Nordschleife.. I did some too, but many cars don't
feel 'real ' . Sometimes I went out of a bent I could have done with my Discovery 3 for sure..

The F1 cars have a good setup and the Ferrari's as well...

I always sad it wasn't near driving for real... Funny thing was we came to speak with an
instructor who said these games are good for picturing the circuit, but not for knowing
how to drive it..

Most accidents happen with the 'game kings' who do as they do in the simulator and
often go out on the first bend... .. some kill themselves..

No "RESET " button in reality..

I thought I'd be terrified, and asked Dale to do max 95% , I trusted he would be able to do
the extra 5 % as well.. .. better safe then sorry..

But we drove down there on a pretty empty highway topping 200kmh many times.
The speed on the Nordschleife did not scare me, I really had a laugh !!
