    You look at the speedo when you're on track?? For me, it's a "feel" thing ...

    Same here.... Though I remember at combe in my V6, past the start/finish and hurtling towards the uphill bend before the hairpin thinking "Hmm, I'm carrying a bit of speed into the braking point!"

    Then I looked down at the clocks to see exactly how much and saw the needle touching three figures..... The feel of the car instantly changed as I found the brake pedal sharpish and my ass clenched the drivers seat!.....

    Good tracks if you fancy the experience are Thruxton (you have just got to try and do Church flat out!) and out of the way Pembrey; this is really my favorite road car circuit. I tried to get Honda flat but never have done it but did manage to aquaplane at 120 down the main straight and shoot past a marshals post (soooo close) as I spun like a top. Guess he never thought his trousers would get wet under the waterproofs.
