Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who voted for Zoe and I.
We arrived at the Pro Drive Test Track in Warwickshire this morning at 9am, signed in and got our free english breakfast as prommised
First Challenge was Cops and Robbers where we had to chase a racing driver round a track, collecting the bags of swag they threw out of the car as we went. Was a real laugh and my first time on a track so a bit mental, did well and didn't stall it in front of everyone Zoe bless her was picked to drive first and did an awesome job, only just got beaten by the pro driver after a narrow miss with a pheseant!
Second event was the pit stop challenge, where we were split into mens and womens team and had to rebuild a partly dismantled Leon, just basic stuff like wheels brake pads lights, wing mirrors etc plus a baby seat and baby which was defeating some of the male teams. We came first out of our group and I think we had the fastest time of the day with 24 mins of the alloted hour left when we finished.
Final challenge was a stunt drive session on the skid pan with some excellent teachers including Tom Onslo Cole, Phil Glew and Adam Jones loads of others I didn't get to drive with but all very friendly. J Turns, Drifting, ABS turns and speed lane changes made the afternoon very challenging but loads of fun.
Unfortunately we didn't make it through for the final, one of the guys in my group did though really nice chap called Andy (very carrismatic), I think I may have been concentrating too hard on the driving and not enough on the cameras
Would really reccomend it to anyone who gets the chance.
Thanks again
Rob & Zoe
