When do you plan to come over here?


early next year
Book a go in a Ring taxi if you haven't been in one already, tickets go on sale in December.

You'll get to see how it should be done (in a 2 ton M5 which is rebuilt every 20 laps)

Either my maths skillz are deceiving me, or that's more than £800.

Could you not hire something?

£800 should be enough for a big Audi or something for a few weeks....?

Basically it has to be a decent car out of the box that can take the miles and be reletively fun to drive and all it will need spending on it is a set of brakes and a basic service.

If you build something it will go wrong as the most inapropriate of times
