GT4 Aston: Yas Marina Circuit - Abu Dhabi
Discussion
Just back from holiday and thought I'd pass on a great activity for you Aston peeps.
I visited the Yas Marina Circuit to drive an Aston GT4. Cost £266 and lasted about 20mins on track.
Anyway, a fabulous experience. Noise was intense as was the heat of course.
Instructor sat beside you but due to noise everything was by hand signals. Basically though, you had to be shown to be in control at all times, keep a safe distance from car in front, stay off kerbs (booo) but generally allowed to push.
What I found was it was nothing like my previous owned V8V and tbh honest I didn't expect it to. It actually resembled nothing of my V8V. Top speed I hit was 140mph which is the fastest I've driven in a car. Only thing that did disappoint was the traction control kicking in on exiting most corners. You can actually hear the engine revs drop. I can only assume this is switched on for driver experience events.
Anyway, here's a short video. Guess you won't watch it all but you'll get the idea!
