Its fantastic to be a wing owner and actually taken it round the ring. We did it 2007. Two of us went round together, had our wives on the back seat also. What a trip and exsperince. Just like you we were a bit reluctant at first. We actually met some riders from Uk who had season tickets and did it quite regualar. They gave Tony and myself a few tips on how to ride it plus a few tips on the rules etc. We enjoyed it that much Tony wanted to take his trailor with him the next time round but did'nt due the weather the next day. My wife has a friend at work which has a bungalow in a village very close to the circuit, he let us have his bungalow for a few days. We went to a few places from there. We travelled up from France via Luxemberg then onto Germany then Holland. Glad I had my airhawk cushion though. Some of the veiws we got on the trip were also fantastic. And like your companian we also had a video camera with us. We took it easy and steady at first but jinxed a bit changing over lead and following etc for the sake of the video etc. Funny thing was there was a coach come of the circuit prior to us going on our lap, strange. Plus we also saw a test sports car come off the track which was masked up with leather skirts etc to hide the shape and design of the car. Might do this again sometime, not sure when though.

The 'stately' Wing looked very good from the side lines as you swept past. Well written Stuart. The ‘stately’ Wing looked very good from the side lines as you swept past.
