    A track day with an instructor will settle these voyeuristic tendencies, a.
    Sounds good. I've noticed that the single-seaters with wings don't need to use all the curb at the bottom of Paddock Hill with their extra grip. You should buy yourself an old Formula Ford, there are thousands of them knocking about.

    My little Caterham suits me perfectly, to be fair. It's never going to go fast enough to be really scary, and at the end of the day I can drive it home.

    The last two times I went to Brands for the historics (they call it the Super Prix, I think) there was a row of Sevens parked outside the Kentagon, including the odd old Lotus, and usually one in the McGoohan livery.
