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.

[Water Boy]

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.
