Its not the fact that theres a car on the back, but its just the people in the truck look like they should be a comedy duo

General Bravo as a trackday car
Maybe they struck lucky with salvage rights and at worst a "we buy any car" sale.

part of the reason for doing trackdays is to explore the limits of the car in a controlled environment
i am pleased to report that the esp works really well and on one occasion when i ran out of talent the Bravo took over and dragged us back in line from a spin in progress
the effectiveness of the individual wheel braking technology never ceases to amaze me
on the rest of the sessions the car outperformed my expectations and kept a few 'sportscars' honest, you can't ask more than that...
and the Hankook RS2 tyres refuse to die

you an get the Hankook RS2 from www.mytyres.co.uk
alternatively Toyo R1R from www.event-tyres.co.uk these are a v good price, usually a lot more
also worth considering are Federal 595 RSR http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/competition-tyres/federal-595-rs-r-tyre

car was good and winter tyres worked brilliantly on the icy/wet/greasy surface
when we arrived there were severals areas of the circuit with black ice, notably on the entry to the 2 pit straights (easy to lose the rear and head into the concrete pit wall) which some Lotus demonstated...
lots of incidents on track but Bravo stayed planted and only took to the astroturf on the exit of Copse a few time while lapping quickly with another car
car intact, still has brakes and if anything the winter tyres are gripping even better this morning now they are scrubbed in a bit
