Sideways at Prodrive UK
Just before Christmas I was running a series from my trip to Rally
GB in 2007. I've dusted the files off and have one more from that
series to share. This was the visit to the Prodrive test track in
Warwickshire.
I had a chance to drive a Subaru Type UK 2007 STI and a Group-N WRC car on the high-speed course (my first time in a right-hand drive), plus I had a little fun on the ice simulator. Prodrive has one of only two such simulators in the UK.
Thanks to Subaru of America for hookup us up. Enjoy the video, just after the jump.

Awesome. I want a go :) Any ideas if they rent out the test circuit/facilities to the public? :)

Tires of the fast forwarding of the videos, the gay music, etc. Just show the damn car in real time with real sounds!

We put out a lot of videos without any music: just the sweet sound of motor and tires (and maybe a little wind noise). Go to the Driving Sports TV YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/drivingsports) and browse our clips.
You may want to watch this whole clip before complaining: we only fast forwarded 10% of one lap in this video and, in the final segment (the best part) there is zero soundtrack. Yes, we did music over the WRX on the ice course... it needed it.
