Trackday Star in a Race Car
If you sit watching Top Gear's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car
on a Sunday night thinking "I can do better than that" - now is
your chance. You can test your driving skills against the rest of
the drivers in the UK and end the pub banter between friends on who
is the best driver with How Fast!
However, you won't be using a "reasonably priced car" - you'll
be setting a lap time in one of our Clio Cup Race Cars as used on
the PalmerSport corporate driving day! They may look related to
something you might see at your local supermarket, but there the
similarity ends. The How Fast Clio Cup cars are designed and built
by the RenaultSport factory as pure racers from the day they were
born.
They develop 'just' 205 bhp from their race-tuned two litre
motors but when it's transferred to the road through a paddle shift
gearbox, slick tyres and racing suspension, it adds up to an
apex-to-apex pace you'd simply not credit from a humble tin-top
hatchback. They are outrageously fun and relatively easy to
drive!
Your experience begins with a one hour practice session where
you will be able to hone your skills and receive advice from our
qualified race instructors. This will comprimise of two 20 minute
on track-instruction sessions with debriefing time in the pit-lane
ensuring you're ready to set the best time possible.
After you have had time to practice, it's then down to you to
cover the challenging 1.8 mile West circuit as fast as you can and
set a time that will be displayed on the league table of the How
Fast website for all to see. The cars are the same so there are no
excuses - it's all about your driving skills!
