I have been chatting to my neighbor who works for Tesla and made her aware of this event last week. Their UK office is currently negotiating with the organizer to bring a couple of cars to this event - including a version of the 4 door that does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.
If Emma and the team do make it, please ask for a go - I'm sure it will be fun
Going back a few years, Tesla had three industrial units in Wymondham. Properly quick things and it's really strange seeing a car accelerate that quickly with virtually zero noise. There was an unfortunate incident where one of their American colleagues forgot to apply the handbrake in his VW Scirocco hire car. It rolled down the slope of their drive, crossed the road, over a low wall and almost ended up in my office. The driver used our phone to call the hire company. I nearly choked with laughter when he said "I'm having a little trouble with the car". The whole building shook on impact and we had to have pretty much the whole front rebuilt. Luckily, nobody was injured, but it could have been much worse.
