Jaguar Performance Driving
Had the opportunity to take part in the Jaguar Performance Driving School, drove the XKR and XFR around the Formula 1 track in Austin Texas. All I can say is it was an awesome experience and I learned a lot more about the performance of the XKR and myself by taking this course. If anyone gets the opportunity to do this then do, its well worth it.

Jaguar Performance costly
I checked into the Jaguar Performance drive school and it is pretty expensive. Too bad Jaguar has chosen that direction, since Porsche offers the same thing for free and you will really want to buy a Porsche after participating. I wanted to see how the new XKR handles on a track or auto cross compared to my XK8.

First of all the fee was free for the "Basic" course, this consisted of skid pan training for around an hour, then a few laps around an oval track that was set up in the car park, then a small road course run also set up in the car park before breaking for lunch. After lunch we were set loose on the real track for around 4 hours completing approx 35-45 laps, I didn't count but I know we were on there often. Jaguar had approx 16 cars. The link below is the laps of me then the instructor, he was faster as expected

Viewed from the XKR, the hill up from the pit is a lot steeper than it appeared watching the F1 race on TV and the first corner is even tighter than I expected.
Looks like a great day.
