My friend with a track prepared Viper usually supports the Children's Trust Supercar event at the Dunsfold Top Gear test track here in the UK. You take paying passengers around the track with all the proceeds going to the Childrens Trust charity supporting brain injured children. He has often encouraged me to take my Prowler, I find it more than fast enough for road use but to attend a seriously fast supercar event on a track, I wasn't so sure. Long story short, he sold his Viper, its a selective invite and he wanted to continue to support the event. Another friend with a Viper was also going, when the organisers knew I had a Prowler they asked if I could bring it along as they are so rare in the UK, saying the event is about the passenger experience rather than just the speed. So the deed has just been done. I had a great time, so did my passengers and it raised money for a great charity. The Prowler went down really well, as always. Fourth car out at 11 seconds: Found another one showing some of the fantastic cars that were there: Enjoy, you will see the Prowler is allowed to play with the big boys now and again.

Hi Nick, my brother phoned me as he saw you arrive. He was there with Lexus. I told him to come and find you and say hello. I guessed it was you. I would have been there but work got in the way again, I was at the Formula e race in central London. |

It was a fantastic event, some very special cars there. Found another video, Prowler on the track at 0:10 seconds and lining up at 6:45 - had lots of children passengers, this one can only just about see out! This message has been edited by V-Rod on 07-07-2016 at 05:46 PM |

quote: Trey, it was part of a charity event, public pay £30 for a ticket that is 3 laps of the circuit, it is shortened as the full top gear track is a figure of 8. All money to the Children's Charity so very safety focused. Not over 100 mph with adults, 70 mph with Children. The Prowler did well, was flat out a lot of the time, kept up well in most corners but the Ferrari's, Lambo's, Atoms etc were way quicker out the corners. Was just fast good fun. The Prowler had a lot of interest. |
