ANYBODY FANCY AN ASCARI TRACK DAY???

Check out Experiences on Aston Martin website.... Great circuit, and stunning area of Spain around Ronda.

I liked the idea of using their car until I saw the price!
That's a 2 week Euro tour for us - no brainer!

Exactly, you do the track day in your own car, while you are touring Europe!

I'm doing their Silverstone and Spa days this year in my car (driving my car on the track with other Aston owners, theory: no brainless idiots and hopefully people who want to look after their cars). Seriously thinking about Ascari - looks beautiful and very technical. I will train or ferry it down (to save miles on the clock). Do a few days touring... Anyone want to come for a mini tour?

Last time i worked there, 3 of us took motorcycles, and caught the ferry one-way down to Santander, then rode down to Ronda. While in Ronda, you must visit "old" Ronda, about 8 miles across the valley, which was a Roman city built on chalk/limestone hillside [with intact ampitheatre], which looks out to the Atlas mountains in N.Africa. It was a staging post for the North African part of the empire. On the return, we came back through the Pyrenees, then into France via Andorra, and included the Millau viaduct [awesome!].
Oh, and the track is fantastic. The owner put a lot of thought, time, energy, and a TON of cash into the enterprise...

Hope to see you there....

Thanks for the great descriptions of your ferry choice to Santander. And your bike trip. Like the thought of driving back through great scenery to the tunnel. I think there is another PH post on Spain trip this summer. I will try to look it up. Thanks
