WAYYYY too short on the lap count. Only got two laps in the wagon, then three laps in the coupe with the cameras and telemetry set-up. Had a little bit of help from F1 2012 for the XBox 360 in learning the track, but all it does is help you figure out which way the track is going next. It totally misses the elevation changes going on in real life. Hmmm... wonder what it would take for Tim to let me run the B-spec here in May...

In reply to Ranger50:

Trust me, I would have liked to, but the instructors have radios with them, and if the instructor in the car you want to pass doesn't notice you, you don't have clearance to pass.

Forgot to talk about the ATS V6 I got to drive at the end of the day. They had a drag race set up between you and another car. Get up to about 50mph, then nail the brakes when you reach the sign. Then go over to the lane change, then a short 4 cone slalom. The ATS is the first to use the 3rd Gen magnahelic shocks. They have a 2.0Turbo version that's available with a six speed manual. Brembo four piston calipers up front. Pretty nice car that I would definitely check out if I gave up the racecar. I've got a video of my dad doing the ATS course over on the skidpad, but it's on my phone.
