And i passed!

Was quite enjoyable, instructors and staff running the event were spot on.
Only issue was being passed by everything on track, so constantly looking in the mirrors.

Was put out in a Peugeot RCZ which is under powered (IMO) and over braked (up rated with floating disks).

Would of been ok on a normal trackday, although yesterday was a test and trackday, so all the other cars out there were out and out race cars.... The poor RCZ never stood a chance against Radicals, Caterhams, M3's, Cliosports and other one make series vehicles.

Id advise any who is looking to take there ARDS to do it with MSV, nice crowd and all the assistance you'll need in order to pass and have a good day.

Next stop..... finishing the corsa and getting it onto the grid

Brother did it a oulton park when they had the vx220 and instructor/testers were not very complimentary about them. Can't remember y tho

Have seen the pugs there, bit of a strange car to use. . . noticed the huge brakes straight away.

I'd imagine the choice of car is more down to what they can get for free, or at a largly discounted rate..... And as you can tell, brakes were very good lol

Probably because they started getting old and were costing to sort.
