Porsche Driving Experience - Can I be bothered?

[bigmowley]

I have had my invitation to PEC for my Spyder experience for quite a while now and I am struggling to raise any enthusiasm for it. To be honest I find it a bit meh. To put that in context I live on the Isle of Man so its not exactly round the corner. I love driving my cars and have lots of opportunities both here, in the UK and in Europe. Any spare time can be easily filled with a blast out. I also do quite a few track days and events and as an International Cat C race licence holder I don't feel short changed on circuit experience. I have done a couple of PEC half days at Silverstone already and I am not sure there is much left to interest me there. I have also taken some of the family with me but I found that as we were all in different cars it was not much of a shared experience.

Any body else? Or am i missing something?

Are there any other venues that we can access? Europe perhaps?

Mind you the grub is excellent

I thought that was frowned upon? I had one instructor who was quite enthusiastic but another one was very finger wagging.

You can trade in your half day against other days they offer....they give you £500 credit. I did a precision day which is a full day of tuition with half a day on the main track. Cost me £249 using my own car. You can rent PEC cars...but then it gets expensive. GT3 is £1200 ish to hire I think.

There are also things like RS experience days where you get to drive 3 generations of the RS. Unlike all the other cars which go out to trade they keep all the GT/RS cars they run so they need to find excuses to use them.

This sounds a bit more interesting, thanks for the heads up. I would much prefer to use my car for something. I will investigate the other options.
