Driving a D4/RR at Interlagos (Brazilian F1 Circuit)
Wow!!!!
Just received a call from the Brazilian LR dealer inviting me to an official LR experience: drive a D4 and a RR at Interlagos, the Brazilian official circuit for Formula 1. 8)
The event will comprise two parts: full acceleration with a RR Supercharged in the circuit, with a small time competition between all the participants, and a off-road challenge with a D4.
It will happen on May 7th. Can't wait for it!!!!!

OK....well that'll eat up a whole 15 seconds of your time Let's hope the D4 off-road course takes a bit longer
I've seen the acceleration/braking runs of the RRS S/C and it's very impressive. It would be great if they let you do a couple of laps because I heard that the S/C can beat the Cayenne Turbo around the Nurburgring which is no mean feat 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Sorry it wasn't clear in my post, but they will actually let us do some laps. I agree with you that an acceleration only test with the RR would be really boring. 8)

So it happened yesterday!!!! I'm still breathless!!! 8)
What an experience to drive a Supercharged on a F1 Track. Below are some videos I posted on youtube. Yhe videos shows the paddocks, on/off road tracks at Internagos and the video of me on passenger's seat with a professional stock car pilot driving a RR Supercharged.
There's still one video I will post later (where I drive a Supercharged, recorded with an internal camera attached to the car just like the F1). Land Rover will process the video and send it to me by mail so as soon as I receive it I will post here too. I will also post some pictures as soon as I extract them from my camera.
All videos are in HD so I recommend changing the setting and watching them in high definition.
What a day!!!!!!
