thats the way I see it.
Just a chance to show off some of their models. I dont think they will let people go nuts with the cars though. Probly a few maneuvers and stuff and then a hot lap with one of their drivers at the wheel.

Hey Pete you can show the VW people how to drive around Sandown as im sure you have done as many laps as some the promo cre have.

[Peter Jones]

By the sounds of it they probably won't be covered for race pace out on the track.

I expect it'll just be a lot of talking and skidpan work and then a "hot" lap with one of their drivers at the wheel.
