Domus Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Very lucky to get the opportunity to drive on this circuit yesterday. Mrs Domus is joint co-ordinator of the NW MX-5 owners club, and as such was invited by Mazda UK to the launch of the new 5. No not to Geneva, but to a very nice hotel in Stratford where we wined and dined coutesy of Mazda. Next morning after early breakfast, off to Prodrive to view the unveiling via DVD, shot the night before, in Geneva, then each car was alloted an instructor for laps of a 1.2 mile test circuit, high speed braking technique, a skid pan and a very twisty, very technical little circuit with humps, bumps and lots of Armco. A very nice lunch in the Prodrive hospitality suite. Then either do it all again or leave for home. Superb instruction and superb facilities. They now work closely with Mazda offering instruction for buyers of the RX-8. If you get the chance to go, DO IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
