Life in a bathtub at 250 km/h - what a rush!


Grand Theft Auto's got nothin' on this!

Not too long ago I reached another milestone in Birthdays. My wife and friends pitched in to buy me a day of racing in both Formula Renault and Formula 1 cars as an "experience" package with Rajamäki Racing Experience. The fun part was that we had all pitched together to get the same gift certificate for my Best Man on his similar milestone the year before, but due to scheduling conflicts he never used it. So a grudge race was in the makings.

All I can say is, WOW! What an experience! And what a well managed operation. The gang at Rajamäki was fantastic and very thorough in everything they did. As is the way in racing circles, the day went like clockwork, filled with speed, yellow flags, cars into the wall, and every bit of testosterone pumping, adrenaline-junkie excitement you'd expect. This is the story.
