I've been round Rockingham as a passenger in the Clio and it scared the life out of me, this was totally different, difficult to explain really but when it fell off the track, it didn't feel out of control, it's really weird.

I have a lot more respect for the drivers now, I got out of the car and my brain was fried, couldn't think about anything at all because I was trying to keep up mentally in the car :lol:

What a great thing to do. Always loved the BTCC cars.

My favourites are the old lagunas, accords etc that used to be in the TOCA PlayStation games :cool:

I went out as a passenger in a BTCC car at Rockingham

Two reasons I never expected it to happen, first of all I'm the worst passenger in the world and get travel sick and secondly, it's a BTCC car and you don't ever get the opportunity!

Did two outings, the first one it had just started to rain so on the way in to turn four, a fast right hander, he back stepped out and we ended up on the grass very sideways, got going again and came in.

Second trip was a bit more of a success, anyone who knows Rockingham will know how intimidating turn one can be because of the wall, so doing it flat on sixth gear was quite something! The one thing which really takes you by surprise isn't the grip or the acceleration it's the brakes, you go well past the point you'd feel comfortable braking then still make it round the corner!

Awesome experience, if anyone offers you the chance, grab it with both hands!
