I went to the VXR track session this morning at Oulton Park. Fair does for what everyone got was a bargain at £95
Breakfast
Session doing the parallel parking with a 1.6 astra
Session doing the timed slalom and handling course
Then testing out all the VXR's on track with a instructor
Then a quick lap in a Astra & Corsa VXR( and i mean very quick lap ) with Tom Chilton and some Neil chap who used to do BTCC ( dont think it was matt, he had a light scouse accent), they're both nutters chucking it round the corners. I just laughed as it was that fun
Then dinner ( pork ribs, chicken, wedges, mmmmm )
Goody Bag with free VXR polo shirt & key ring
Plus a photo of you in the pitlane in the VXR you were in at the time
Really was a good morning and would love to do it again.
Went out in all the cars except the Zafira. The Meriva handles like a bag of crap, kept feeling like i was going to roll it as i was cornering at Corsa VXR speeds!
Astra and Vectra are very good and so is the Corsa. Faster than i thought after reading Total Vaux's review.
VXR8 sounds immense though we had to keep it in 4th gear all the way round due to the awesome power!
Anyway, got a few pics, here they are.

yeh, keep them in 3rd and 4th round the track. insructor tells you when to change so its not near the redline too much but you can get away with the odd thrash here and there.
there doing them at alot of the MSV tracks in the next few weeks
