Silverstone Driving Experince

[GPS M-Jet]

Just wondering if anyone has ever done a driving experience day at Silverstone, and if it's worth taking a camera for spectators to take some snaps?

Forgot my SLR and I'm staying next to Silverstone so can't travel home for it (over 200 miles away) and was wondering if it's worth buying a compact from Jessops etc just to get some pics?

Cheers.

Not sure mate, it's just a Ferrari experience bought and booked as a surprise Xmas gift.

Excellent. Any advice on whether the camera is necessary mate?

they will probably sell you a picture, unless its a really big thing for you, i wouldnt bother

I done the Lamborghini experience at Silverstone & loved it. Well worth it.

Drove F355 there together with Elise. Preffered the Elise to be honest but you may prefer Fezza. Not really much photo opportunity other than pit area etc. Enjoy

Definitely worth taking a camera - spectators can stand on a terrace on the roof of the building where you get your helmets etc. whilst the experiences are going on. Gives a good view across Stowe and back along the hangar straight. There was also a grandstand across from the experience centre which you could sit in.

There is a professionally taken photograph available after the experience - they're not cheap but they are good quality.

The Lambo experience I did was excellent - by far the highlight of 2011 for me.

I had a compact when I drove an Exige. My camera was only good for the pits and foyer to be honest.

Buy one of their photos; it is worth it.

You can take a Camera
I got some cracking shots of her on track with mine.

Although there will be a Professional photographer there with pictures available immediately after her session.
Along with a copy of the incar video, with on-screen speed readout and a live position circuit map and a little view from the 2nd camera (In-car) looking at her..

..they put it all on a USB stick for you at extra cost, I don't recall how much extra it was but it was WELL WORTH getting imho
