This is certainly not for everyone...
Parenting comes with plenty of expected milestones doesn't it. Those tentative first steps, that precious first day of school, their first trip to town with friends.
Yet the opportunity to take part in a Everyman Racing Driving Experience offered by TrackDays came their way and - with a bit of encouragement - they decided to give it a go.The crowds that greeted us at Wigan's Three Sisters Race Circuit, one of a number of venues hosting these experiences across the UK, showed us just how popular they are.
I have to admit that a 5.2 litre engine with 610 horsepower means very little to me, but my ears did prick up when he told us it goes 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 202 mph. Obviously they're given a little run-through beforehand and instructor Peter Humphreys was brilliant at putting the kids at ease.
I wasn't sure exactly what speed they got to, but as they whizzed past me in the pit and took over other cars on the circuit, my heart was in my mouth.
