We did the same back in August
The helicopter ride to and from PI was unreal, being able to trash someone elses car was even better
Where did you guys eat dinner? We went to Hyatt after the event

Very cool. Been in a near identical copter over and into the grand canyon. Would love to own one (need to learn to fly first!) of those.

How was the day structured? Is it training and a driving experience?

You didn't happen to see any MY16 M3's there did you

No instructor on-board. Instructions....watch your apex points and stay off the grass. Yeah no MY16 M3's . Have added 2 short vids

Wet pan is very cool considering this thing is built to go sideways :-P

Yes stay off the grass. Kvyat's (suzuka f1) weekend foray into the grass was not pretty.

Give us the cars... Looking forward to it :-)

When I did it they flew me from Sydney to Tullamarine, then drove to Essendon airport. There was apparently some fog around, so the choppers were grounded. We all sat around in Essendon airport for 2 hours, which wasn't fun

When we finally made it out to PI it was a good day though
