With the respect, he or I would find no limit of an Aventador on track. Maybe after a good few years of driving on track then you could do it justice, but otherwise you're best off waiting for a quite stretch on the M20.

That's just not true. A day at Silverstone with an instructor alongside for at least some of the time will be plenty for even the most novice driver to get a taste of weight transfer, threshold braking, understeer, throttle balance, etc. Going fast in a straight line teaches you very little, introduce a few corners and combinations and a whole new world opens up. And OP, please please please ignore the M20 advise above.

You too could take your Aventador on track to learn about understeer!

The OP signalled he would be a track day novice. You would therefore be joining the dots; braking cone, apex cone, exit cone. I think our opinion of 'finding the limit' is a little different.

And incredible that you have taken my M20 quip as a serious bit of advice. Lighten up a little Mr Mumsnet.

Fair enough, that comment was somewhat Mumsnet. But you're still wrong on there being no value in taking the car to the track.
