My wife has just given me one for my bday Top girl! Now I have a choice of Ferrari, Aston, Exige, single seated or rally in a fiesta. Anybody had any experience of these? I am drawn to the fezza as I have never driven one before and probably won't get the chance again. Just a bit worriedas I've heard stories about not being able tofully exploit performance on days like this. Any recommendations?

Rally is fine if that's what you fancy but if you want to go on track I'd rule out the Aston as being the least suitable. If you want a drive in a Ferrari then pick that, if you are more interested in the "track experience" I'd go for the Lotus.

Either way, limits are largely set by the instructor, the more you listen to him the more pace he'll help/let you get teacher

Thanks for the reply. Track experience I have done to death in my own car and various single seaters so I'm more looking for a car experience. I think I have already ruled out the Aston to be honest.

I would think the ferrari would be the one to go for if you fancy it then yes

I instruct there Aston is a V8 a good car, 360 is more hands on, value for money though i'd go for Single Seater if it's the full SS Experience you get 40 mins in car 20 paced 20 free lapping around the new longer stowe circuit SS thrill 20 mins in car 8 paced 12 free lapping.

yes much better than the more usual DB9 then.

Are the supercar experiences done on the main circuit JP?
