Just did a few laps of a local circuit in a late-model Aston Martin Vantage (V8 with paddle-shift). Don't think I've ever felt so UN-connected with the road before. A dream deflated - oh well...

But at least you got to drive the car, a nice way to spend the day.

You should have seen the way one of the instructors was throwing the Lotus around. It seemed to defy the laws of physics.

It's amazing what these pro's can do isn't it.

Made me feel distinctly pedestrian.

I had a similar day, a few years ago, at the Bedford Autodrome. Even driving myself I felt so motion sick by lunchtime, that I had to sit out the afternoon!

That's what you get from driving cars with soft suspension and no fresh air.
