booked the ferrari experience package a month or 2 ago at silverstone and on sunday the wait was over
the package included 4 laps in a lotus exige, 4 laps in a ferrari 360 modena and another lap in the passenger seat of a lotus exige s with a pro driver... was lookin fwd to it for ages and it didnt disappoint! some ppl say im mad to spend £200 in a few hrs but it was worth every penny
it was more track orientated- correct racing lines and diff parts to each corner etc. the exige was amazing but the ferrari is just out of this world. V8 sounds gorgeous and its so comfortable, the 1st 3 gears were used just getting out of the pits and onto the track, after that i didnt get below 4th but even then the acceleration is unreal, wish i got to hammer it from a standing start tho!
only thing that i didnt like was it was too quick and i didnt get to savour the moment lol- as soon as i was strapped in i was told to head onto the track and get my mind into racing mode, didnt even check out the interior properly and dont think i even noticed the horse on the steering wheel! and cos i had to concentrate the whole time it was over as soon as it started and i didnt even check how fast i was going lol
but an amazing but of machinery and with prices for used 360s under £40k i think its on my wish list lol
then i was in the passenger seat with a guy who didnt know wot brakes were, that was an experience! lol
£200 well spent, cant recommend it enough, il def be going back in the future!
anyway enough mumbo jumbo, heres some pics (didnt get a video sorry!)
started off in manchester and noticed some new cars on the way the i hadnt seen before, and even went to the ferrari showroom to get me in the mood
BMW X6M
Jag XF-R
aston V12 Vantage...
even spotted bumblebee hiding in a manchester dealership
the new california in the ferrari showroom (gorgeous in the flesh, pics dont to it justice)
got to silverstone the next day and the experience centre is sponsored by nissan, thought our members would appreciate this...
the lotus exige for our warm up, think they used paul t's painter
and most importantly the ferraris...
an amazing weekend guys, cant recommend it enough! if u have a spare £200 and want to treat urself then theres not many better ways than this, the have different packages with other cars also but think this package is the pick out the bunch, not everyone can claim to have driven a ferrari!
