 Posted: 22:36 - 31 Aug 2013 Post subject: High speed passenger rides |
 |
|
Just went for a passenger ride in an SLS at MB world today and it was frikin awesome! Never had anything like it and now I'm hooked. Highly recommend it. If you don't want to pay the price for the SLS at least pay £15 for an AMG ride!
Anyone know of any other good passenger rides that you can do? Preferably at a proper circuit. Best deal I've found so far is £39 for 20 mins in a Caterham/370Z at Silverstone but I want something with better cars preferably ____________________ Bikes : 2006 CBR125R - 2004 Monster 620ie - 2004 ZX-6R B1H - 2005 Monster S2R 800 - 2011 Street Triple - 2009 Streetfighter 1098 - 2014 ZX-6R 636

I had a passenger ride at Donnington in a mates dads Ferrari F40. Best car ride ever!
Sadly I don't know of anywhere that you can pay to be a passenger  ____________________ Quietly and consistently taking the piss.

I don't have a driving licence plus I don't think you'd get anywhere near as fast as them. Especially how late they brake  ____________________ Bikes : 2006 CBR125R - 2004 Monster 620ie - 2004 ZX-6R B1H - 2005 Monster S2R 800 - 2011 Street Triple - 2009 Streetfighter 1098 - 2014 ZX-6R 636

Still irritates me when I see how they ruined Graham Hill bend, that used to be one of the best corners on any track  |
I didn't realise they'd changed it so recently... I found it the most difficult corner on the track to get just right. I never found the grip I wanted, nor the pace.
Paddock hill bend was the first corner that I've found myself cheering about inside my helmet. It was terrifyingly quick and completely lacking traction until you hit the little dip at the bottom of the hill.

They changed it yonks ago.
It used to be a near perfect positive camber sweeper; take a very late apex at Druids, swing back to the right hand side, then fire through the corner flat chat with a choice of exit, either stay tight to the left, or take a natural drift to the right kerb.
Now they've flattened it out, it's as much as you can do to stay inside the kerb on the exit, made doubly worse by the surface they've put behind the kerb, it's just a spin waiting to happen.
Paddock used to be really interesting, with the massive bump just off the apex; the only time I've ever rolled a car was there, I ended up on my roof in the kitty litter on the old circuit, trying to avoid a muppet exiting the pits too wide and too slow. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
