Title: Test drive day at Millbrook
Post by: bob.dent on 16 June 2008, 16:15:13

As I look after our company car fleet, one of the perks I get is an annual invitation from Company Car Magazine for a test drive day held at Milbrook Proving Ground. This involves test driving brand new models from most of the major manufacturers around the various circuits at Millbrook including the Alpine hill circuit, high speed banked circuit and a few others. They also have pro racing drivers there to take you out for special "hot laps" in some really high performance models. Last year I got taken for a blast around the high speed banked circuit in a Honda NSX at 175mph - awesome!! :y

So, a day off work tomorrow and Millbrook here I come. :y

Unfortunately I won't be able to take any pics as photography is strictly prohibited.  :(
