Pics from track/driving experience day!
Discussion
Hi all, drove down to Stafford from Glasgow on Friday for a driving experience day on the Saturday. Mega buzz! Got this as a 30th birthday present last year but it was worth the wait. First up i was taken out for a passenger ride with a lady, who i think said she was an ex formula Ford driver, in this...
Was so surprised how quick the ST is, but think that had a lot to do with the driver!
Anyway, up next i got to drive a Ferrari 360 spider. First time I've been in a Ferrari never mind drive one,the acceleration was mega. A lot easier to drive than i thought it would be.
Next it was time for a shot in an Impreza, think you all know how good these are. The levels of grip are amazing and again just so easy to drive.
After this it was time to move down to the other wee track to practice handbrake turns in their Renault Clio's, great laugh. Camera was out of battery by then but here's a few other pics from the day.
The Stig?
All said and done it was a great weekend and would defo recommend it!

Nice pics mate. Did you get a seat in the R8
Done this a few years back down in Leicester @ Prestwold Hall. Me and a few mates went down for the weekend. Initally it was for laps round the track in a lime green Lamborghini Murcielago. It was a pretty awesome experience. Bit costly though. Very busy track too. 355s, 348s, hummers!! , scoobys, porsches etc. At one point my instructor got out at the end and had a set2 with another instructor who cut me up in a ferrari...... that was a laugh!!

Never sat in the R8 but although they look fantastic the one down there sounded pretty rough and seemed off the pace a little. I own an Audi myself, only an A4 so was tempted, but its not everyday you get to rag a Ferrari! Really wish id got a shot in the Lancer Evo though, looked rapid.
