SilverSoop Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hi all, well today was awesome... As per my recent thread: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=166770 I arrived there at half 7 this morning and we eventually got going at around half 8... We had our briefing of the circuit and what to do, and what not to do, what the cones and flags mean etc... There was quite a few of us, tbh, I thought that it was just going to be me and a couple other's, there was a least 50 of us, doing different experiences though... We first went out in a Mini Cooper S, which the Instructor drove round for a lap... And then it was the main event, it was a Porsche 911 Turbo Tiptronic, I completed the allowed 4 laps and the Instructor was very impressed with how well I drove the Porsche and tbh, he reminded me a bit of Jeremy Clarkson by the way he was saying...go go go, power, power, power!! As soon as I hit the Apex, I let her go... And yes, I gave the beans on the last lap... All the pics of the Porsche 911 Turbo was of me driving it or about to... When I finished the Experience, I had a de-brief and bought a couple of pics and had a nice Fry up afterwards... Here are all the pics of today via this link: http://s426.photobucket.com/albums/pp345/Silversoop/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraD06 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Check out redletterdays.co.uk, there are loads of driving experiences to do, at the bottom of the first page there is one where you can drive a 911 turbo for £99 or you can drive the new Audi R8 for £115 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Cool looked like a fun day out. It was absoultely fantastic... What kind of costs were involved?? I have been thinking about a 911 Turbo but it looks like TT Supe is next for me...... H. Hay?? What's wrong with the TT?? If you want a 911, get one... All in, the event cost £180.00 not including food, but for the cost you get a briefing, a learning lap in a Mini, 4 laps in the 911 and a de-brief... You can have anything you want, a V8 experience, Mini, Single Seater's, Porsche, Ferrari, Lotus and Lambo... That looks superb how long were you there for all in? It was awesome and I was there for about 2 and a half hours in total, wish it was longer... I am going to have a go at the Single Seater's next year and you get to use the whole track with the Single Seater's... I've got a thing for the 993 Turbo at the moment. http://www.autosalon-singen.de/photos/porsche_993_c_4s_gt2_umbau_02457_0145_02_02_01.jpg Very nice...

Havard Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I did one recently that Mrs H got me for my birthday last year. That was £240 on special offer with Drivers Dream Days. I drove a Fezza 360, Porsche 911 C4, Lotus Elise and a Scooby WRX. 3 laps each...... This was a full day of a job but there was a bit of waiting about too. Great day for the money but I would like to have spent more time on the track. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those driver dream day's that you did, what track did you race on?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
