My ferrari and lambo day.

Well lad's, got back from a great driving experience on saturday, track was situated in heyford park, oxfordshire. We stayed in birmingham so an hour travel on the train and a 10 minute taxi right to the door. The track is an ould air base so you can imagone plenty of space to fit a track. So after a briefing and safety talk, we did our track familiarisation lap, in dare i say an evo. Followed by 2 wrx's, basicaly learning bends and braking points. Im not much of an author or word spinner so, i'll keep it basic, first up was the ferrari f360. Accompanied by an instructor whom by the way has raced on mondello, and took great interest in the i.s.d.c. jacket and club, on with the lap's first back straight on third gear 7000 rpm into a small quick in n out chicane then the main back straight up to 4th gear and pushing it as far as allowed, into asweeping bend back down to 3rd into another really sharp in n out onto the finishing straight again pushing the car as much as allowed by the instructor. Finished my lap's and moved onto the unbelievable gallardo, 510 horsies, paddle shift gear's absolute amazing sound of the v10 in your ear's, scoobies sound animal but this thing was savage. Same track and with some knowledge of turns and points, i got to get a little more from this beast, top end speed 196 mph. Sadly it all came to an end to soon, and with that i got a nice certificate with some encouraging comments. As you will see the i.s.d.c. was well represented on the day. As i said not much of a word man but hope the pictures will give an idea and thanks for reading guy's. Don't know how to upload all the pics so will try again but here's four anyway.

Cheers
Alan. :subaru:

Iam defo doing that this summer..I seen a place where you can drive a lambo lp 670 sv :icon_grin: Its only 4 laps but would be worth it :smokin:
 
was looking at these on the net a few weeks ago they are so tempting but as u keep looking the packages get better and better and before u no it ur up in the 1000 sterling mark :lol: but wud love to do one of these track days are they worth it when u take into account accomadation,food etc
 
@ chris139ryan, well worth it if only for a few lap's you get to drive some class cars, and i know what ye mean by wanting more. As for costs we stayed in birmingham got the train for 31 pound return, and 2 nights premier inn 121 pound. And unless the other half is with ye don't worry about the 800 quid on shopping. But highly recommended to anybody. :thumbsup:
 
cheers alan :thumbsup: might have a look into it towards the end of the summer see wat the budget is like. sure i think me and the family are goin to england on a driving holiday in the impreza so might book one of them days along the way.

Paul you should definetly look into silverbullit's post on the event, much more of a word man than myself, and if memory serves me right, there's a small you tube clip of him overtaking somebody. But well worth a gander. :subaru:
