Gents,

Thought that I might make a post here and say it was good to meet Ken and Serg on the course. Brilliant experience driving your 135's around the track - amazing car - totally understand your appreciation and love for them!

I'll post some pics when I land back in Brisbane tomorrow night.

Cheers,
Zenderm3

Second that. Great to meet you Serg. They are a great little weapon.

what do they teach you on this.
Is it like how to handle the car if it starts drifting etc or what?

Fatjoe - basically you do everything from emergency braking through to oversteer (drifting), understeer, how to drive on the track...awesome fun! Slalom etc. It is a heck of a lot of fun! And great training too!

Drifting? Sounds like someone like the idea of their DSC in TIMYOYO mode.

Zender is awsome at understeer and oversteer!! He's they only person I've met that can do both at the same time...

Haha. Jeff certainly did let you know about it, although he was probably just trying to get some payback on you....

Had a blast! no regrets about money spent, now to start saving for an M3...
Great meeting you Alok, Anthony and Ken on the course!
Must say was an interesting half week with Anthony taking home an M3 and Alok getting frisky with Geoff Brabham...
Ill let them tell the story... off course if you want the truth you can always PM me

It was a blast meeting all of you also! It's a great course especially given the smaller numbers etc. The M3 are fantastic cars and I think I'm sold on one! if only I didnt have a home loan to pay...
