    Re: UK - Buy a Porsche and Get Trained

    Here is an idea for all brit renteamers. I just saw this, there is an A1 GP at brands this sunday. There should be a group ride down to it and a full report posted for the rest of us. If i were there i would go.

    http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/brands-hatch/events/event-details.asp?ProductID=2373

    Imagine GT3's, f-cars, and a couple astons cruising down there and easy taking all the pics!

    Porsche GB currently offer this training at the former General Motors test track facility at Millbrook in Bedfordshire. I did the course in a 997 C2S but it is fairly limited. Hopefully Silverstone will be better plus it is nearer to me

    BMW have a similar centre at the Rockingham raceway circuit in Northamptonshire which is 5 minutes frtom my office. This circuit was built to host the US Champcars European events but this never took off and the development became something of a white elephant. It is a good track though and has featured several times on the Fith Gear tv show. Tiff Needell in a Williams BMW F1 car raced Vicki Butler Henderson in an E60 M5 around it.

    Decided to go at the last minute and it was a great day. A1 GP was good but the highlight was the Ginettas. What fantastic racing - I want one....

    Is the Ginetta still in production?

    The last I remember reading about Ginetta was that the company was in Swedish hands.

    Thanks for the link.
    I've already read enough to see that I really wasn't up to date on the Ginetta story.
