PC's are buy far more realistic than any PS etc.
I know many guys/mates that have done the ring many times and nearly all say that a private session is the only way.
They have also told me that if the P1 was there's, no way would they be on track unless it was a private session. I have never been there, so I listen and respect there comments.
Going on track with a diverse mixture of vehicles/bikes or drivers that for all we know may of only passed there driving test a month beforehand is asking for trouble.
I know how my car can perform, and I know me, and I am not prepared to risk all.
I realise my P1 is a nice example and it's cost me a fortune, so I hope you guys understand where I am coming from.
I would dearly love to have a good 3 / 4 days away with you guys !!
What are your views on a private session?, what do you say chaps ??

Know exactly where you are coming from clive,I would be worried too with the P1. I was bad enough with taking mine on, which, lets face it is replacable easily, unlike the P1, and which is why I did the one lap late friday. It was nice and quiet, so I was lucky. Trouble is, the place is like a drug, and now I want more, so will make sure its insured next year and I wont worry so much.
Nothing to stop you coming down next year tho with us and coming and doing some passenger laps to experience it. I heard private sessions were something cray like a 1000 euros?
