    Has Anyone Driven a Formula Challenge Before?

    This weekend i'm heading to Taupo Motorsport Park to drive a Formula Challenge around the A1GP Track so i was wondering if anyone has driving one before?

    You see i'm a racing fan not a driver and now i was offered this fantastic opportunity to drive a single seater, so i couldn't pass it up. But now i have no idea what have got my self in for. Well apart from a lot of fun

    Good luck my friend. Im sure it will be fun, exciting, and nerve wrecking a little.

    Im driving an IndyCar in July down at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway so Im pretty excited about that. I may have to talk to Danica ahead of time for some pointers.

    Yeah, rub it in folks! i'll just keep on dreaming!

    Enjoy the ride. The only advice I could give is .. pretend that you didn't noticed the 'pit next lap sign'.

    No doubt. At least when I run down at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, its an oval.

    But Im sure he will have a great time. I cant wait to see how it goes.

    Hehe, while getting stranded in the gravel trap and towed back to the pits might be embarrassing and bad for the self esteem I would take that everyday over slamming a car against the conrete wall.

    Luckily i avoided both but i did have a nice spin into some long grass which isn't easy to get out of with slick tyres.

    All i can say is that was amazing if anyone ever gets the chance to drive an open wheeler take it.

    and yes DR while an oval would be fun, coming out of a left hander and flying straight into a right hander is unbelievable.

    pics will be up as soon as possible. i got a lot to get through and i can't find my cord for my camera.
