I was lucky enough to win a ride in the twin-seater Minardi. Everyone who bought a ticket last year was included in the 6 monthly draws. I fluked two prizes (I buy eight tickets for a group of us, so had eight entries in the draw), so one of my mates is also doing it. We are both scheduled for 11 am on the Thursday of the Grand prix. Am starting to get a bit excited about it!  ;D

Had the ride 11 am on Thursday. Unf***ing believable. The G forces at the first corner! One of the best things I have done! I was exhausted after three laps as a passenger!!! Those drivers are elite athletes. Paul Stoddart was very friendly and chatty. Overall - fantastic!

Hey Joe, what can you see from the passenger seat of that car?  It looks like the vision is kinda restricted a bit.

The view is pretty good, you are often turning anyway. I never once thought I couldn't see enough.
