lo
am meant to be going down to Bruntingthorpe proving grounds this weekend to drive a 360 on what I think is the Top Gear track
Should be fun!
Anyone got any tips to get the best out of the 4 or 5 laps ill have in the 360?
There will be other cars there too, so could pay on the day for a go in one of them (lambo, tvr, etc) so anything i should particularly look out for?
Will be the first time id have worn my driving shoes since i crashed the elise last september!

Maybe best not mention that to the organisers
Otherwise, enjoy, and thrash it

the thing about 360s is not to lift off. Ever. Keep the foot planted, wince and close your eyes, but just
don't lift

That'll not niggle away at the back of his mind when he's approaching that off-camber bend 10mph quicker than he'd prefer...
