Porsche Silverstone experience freebie from new car purchase

[Mario149]

I got a letter the other day confirming my BGTS order with Guildford, and it also mentioned that I'd be contacted shortly to arrange my Personalised Driving Experience at Porsche Silverstone which appears to be a freebie thrown in. I as wondering what this entails.....has anyone else done it on the back of a new car order?

I did the inaugural YouDrive@Porsche day there about 5 years or so ago which is 90% in your own car, so hopefully this is something a bit different

I did it, enjoyed it.

Lunch was nice

You get approx 2hr session in a car of equal spec to your purchase, plus lunch.

Well worth doing, I think?

Half day session.

Best booking the AM slot as you get brekkie and lunch

Lovely, all sounds rather nice

I'd suggest enquiring about the cost of upgrading to a full day, if you have the time and are keen. Full days at anything like this are usually much better value so the cost to upgrade shouldn't be much.

Are you doing Factory Collection when the car's built?

And you get afternoon tea too.
Gives you chance to stuff your pockets with biscuits and cakes for the journey home.

Nom nom....

(Top tip - Avoid the cream variety - makes a bit of a mess in ones pockets)

I disagree; after throwing Porsche's finest around Silverstone all day, there will already be a great mess in one's trousers. The Porsche culinary delights will provide a great excuse as to why this has occurred when quizzed by any of your non PH friends that you may meet on the way home

Good idea, I'll ask when they call.

I have asked about factory collection and do want to do it, however the dealer can't tell me when it'll be up and running and I've had no response from the factory collection email address that a PHer kindly supplied in another thread
