Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I dont mean to be rude but if you dont have a fat belly I can recommend the formula Reanult experiences, I got 5 laps at thruxton and it was great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARDA Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I was at Goodwood motor circuit today where Mithril racing was holding a track day which included many cars aswell as Ferraris. None of the cars seemed to be going over 4k revs and I think it is quite common that you are not allowed to push the engines very much at all it seems. Might be worth asking?

Supragal Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The ferrari driving I did you weren't allowed to give it any wellie, I don't think I'd do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 i done a few of these and as mentioned they wont let you drive them how they are meant to be driven. I'd do a track day in my own car next time. maybe a driver training day like pig has just done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 just did one the weekend just gone, was very good, shame it wasnt longer though! Also went in a RS4, that WAS good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSupTT Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Totally agree, I did it with the same company and same place, I thought the cars sounded really bad as well. Really wasnt worth the money at all! I only did 3 lads as well as they were low as the cars were limited big time! Plus I think my gf paid £150 or something like that, it was a birthday present for me, anyway it was an old school ferrari i drove not a new one as advertised in the pics. Apparently to drive the new ones you pay something like £450 Total waste of money I thought. I did rally driving later on that year and it was MUCH better and more fun! And lasted about 3hrs and I think it was cheaper as well! I was at Goodwood motor circuit today where Mithril racing was holding a track day which included many cars aswell as Ferraris.

jamesmark Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Been on 2, one as a present and one that I won at work and both were rubbish. As said above you are not allowed to put the foot down, if you spin your lap will be finished and you have to pull in. Total waste of money.

Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 This is the reason I did the single seater is becuase there was no instructor in there saying no. You were limited to 4000RPM but then at least you could take the speed through the corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I did a Mithril Racing Ferrari drive at Goodwood too. They do indeed restrict you - I wasn't allowed to go below 4th gear. What a waste of a 355 F1 Still good fun though (pre Supra ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 sounds like a bad option then, have to have a rethink, maybe Monster Trucking then:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
