Ferrari F40 Driving Experience

[kaylie89]

Hey all!

Anyone know where I can find an F40 driving experience - it seems to be impossible! Its my boyfriends favourite car and im trying to arrange a driving experience for his 30th birthday.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

You sound wonderful, do you have a sister?

To be honest due to the value of a F40 I would say you have no chance, perhaps just a conventional Ferrari driving experience would be the way forward.

Thanks for looking but I definitely cant afford to hire it. Just looking for an experience day or something like that. Has to be an f40 for sure!!

Shame about the sister... Ha.
Anyway, that daily hire is the best you'll find, I think.
I just can't imagine anyone having one available for experience days at a circuit.
To be fair, if I owned an F40, I'd want a st load more than £4k to let someone have it for the day!

Would a different Ferrari do...?

Nope it has to be an F40! I didnt realise it would be so hard to find to be honest, I cant afford to hire one

Do you realise they are worth something like £600,000-£900,000 these days? Getting behind the wheel of one will be tremendously expensive!

Perhaps keep an eye out for charity events where you might be able to make a donation to get a passenger ride in a F40?

Was also going to suggest trying to organise a passenger ride at car meet. Try sending a PM to Chris Harris, he will have a some willing contacts.

to drive on track would cost you thousands as well, they are approaching million pound cars, ones that can catch out inexperienced drivers very easily

[kaylie89]

I knew they were expensive just not that expensive!

Anyone know anyone who has an F40? Maybe my boyfriend might have to just sit in it instead of drive it!! lol

I've got a Land Rover Discovery he can sit it and peep the horn if he likes?
Have you thought about a rally day experience at all? Where he drives.
I was bought a few laps driving a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 at York and it was ste.
Told when to change gear (circa 4k) and told when to brake (way too early).
I understand they've got to protect the cars from cack-handed lemons but I'd have preferred it if he just let me sit and rev it in the car park than the 'experience' I had.
(Told the wife it was fantastic, obviously...)

I don't know what your budget is but this is one of the best experience days available in the UK (IMHO)

another option might be hiring a car at a track day , bookatrack and others do this.

the main thing that makes Palmer great is the instructors , they are trying to get you go to as fast as you can and build confidence which is a bit different to other experience days.
