Seems fun, but waaayyy to risky for my liking. Definately have to have deep pockets to go out on track and not worry.

I'd go on say Anglesey (sp) track or something in the UK. But fuck driving all the way to Germany and potentially coming back in the passenger seat of a tow truck

You never saw it??

He drifted round a corner then lost it, he hit the tyre wall. Car looked like it had been shot at all down the near side from the studs in the tyre wall puncturing and tearing the panels. 5k to replace the near side.

loads better than over here. with the exception of belgium, the roads are far superior and there isnt anywhere near as much traffic. took us 7 hrs to get from dover to lancs, but only 3.5 hrs to cross 3 countrys in europe. The motorway network in this coutry really is shocking.
