I've used my car a couple of times doing this course. No harm to your car at all, for all the girls out there. And you wont hurt your diff or wheels as far as tread goes. And yes i'll be up doing the course.

"He also does track driving days at Sandown that allow you to drive as fast as you can, with and instructor and then solo"
Wow!
Hey Kevin, what sort of cost are we looking at for that sort of fun?
I've done an advanced driver course (which taught me I'm a retarded driver) and would so much like to learn how to do it right, and to have a decent go at speed on a racetrack.
