I had my 1st Ferrari drive last week!! I got to drive the 328 and 360 in the pic but not the Lambo. The track was at Prestwold Hall in Loughborough. The cars were fantastic although I did have to take my right show off to drive the 360. I am only a size 9.5 shoe. I really enjoyed the circuit but did have to wait around for hours. Does anybody out there reccomend other Ferrari days?

I did a 355 experience through WH Smith at Thruxton, although I wouldn't recommend it.

Too little time in the Ferrari (4 laps as I recall) and the instructor was very protective of the car.

A lot of money too (it was a present so I couldn't say exactly how much).

I did the same one as you and thought it was great. I paid extra to drive the Testarossa and that was an 'event' in itself.

I asked if I could pay to drive the Testarossa as well but they wouldn't let me. I think there were just too many people there. It's a shame they have to pack the day out like they do.

Yup agreed, we took the Esprit down to Thruxton & we had more fun on the way there & back than we did on the track. The instructor is annoying shouting you to change up at about 4,000 rev in each gear.. nooo let her sing!

best bit is the Formula Ford single seater, because atlast your on your own.
