E30stz 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) So, yesterday I participated in the BMW Driver Training day at pukekohe and boy... was it awesome. Was a great day and I'd recommend it to anyone. Nothing like thrashing someone elses car on the race track .Plan to do the level 2 advanced driver training in the future. Well worth it. Learnt some valuable things and had a hell of a good time in the process. Its not everyday you get given a brand new car to take out on the track and perform manouvers etc. Highlight of the day was easily riding shotgun during the M5 hotlaps which were amazing. 242 km/h on the backstraight was a real rush , was told the fastest 4 door car in the world. Mike Eady and his boys put on a great day, thoroughly enjoyed. Great Bday prez ever - up there with the best . Below is a few photos I took . Heres a pic of my stallion. Lining up in hte pits after a few laps of puke Stalking the M5 Braking excercises Cones And one for you top gear and motorsport buffs - on the left is Sabine signature .. Sabine is a female racing legend .. managed to beat Jeremy Clarkson (in a Jaguar) whilst driving a ford transit around Nürburgring. and the other signature is Hans Stück, motorracing legend . Most of you will know him from his M3 GTR around Nürburgring video which is utterly insane. cheers Andy p.s 1600 x 1200 res makes those pics look small.. will resize them again for all those living in teh dark age of resolutions.
