A Few photos from Yesterday at Thruxton - Cars not bikes
I did a Porsche 911 Experience at Thruxton yesterday
Ferrari 430  A brace of Ferraris  911 Turbo  Lamborgini murcielago  I had to do a few laps in a Mazda RX8, I'm coming back into the pits here  Then there was a few more laps in a Mercedes SLK  Time for bigger stuff. Ferrari 355 I think the instructor took a bit of a shine to me   Me in the 911 excuse the cheesy grin  Then a few more laps in a Formula Renault single seater. Getting some instructions in the pits  Leaving the pits  On the circuit  I had a fantastic time yesterday, it was a birthday present from Liz. I've always wanted to drive a 911 Turbo and I wasnt disappointed. I didnt want to get out of the 911 when my laps were up. Both the 911 and the 355 were lovely to drive. The faster I drove them the better they handled. For me though the 911 had that extra wow factor that the 355 was lacking. The Formula Renault was fun, it was like driving a big go kart, but with better brakes and more power. Rather than letting you just blast round the instructors were giving you tips and telling you what line to take and pushing you to go faster all the time. They give you feedback and score your driving. I got 85% which I was very pleased about. If you get the opportunity to go on one of these days then do it you wont regret it
