    Absolutely brilliant.

    Was invited along to the "Boxster 2" launch event there.

    20 minute tour of the building (absolutely excellent view of the whole
    Silverstone circuit from the top of their building) and then 1.5 hours
    playing in the new cars on their test/demo circuits.

    Skid pans, water slides, kick plate, "high speed" circuit (red line in 2nd
    is as fast as you can get but its a lot of fun).

    Great instructors there and the one I had taught me a lot, ex racing driver
    who wasn't happy with me just saving a skid on the kick plate, he made me
    keep doing it until I was able to controllably fishtail the car from the
    initial slide to the end of the wet slide :)

    Turned out Ross had a professional drift racer looking after him, I was
    wondering why he was spending a long time on the skidpan going sideways.

    If you get a chance to bag a freebie there, definitely do it. Paying to go
    there for a day is something like £550 if you do all 5 courses.
