Alright mate , its not good news im affraid , i done the same thing as you last year at the same place , my missus kindly bought me a day there , i drove a db9 , 911 non turbs , wrx , evo, 360 and lambo
i really dont know where to start.
The track :
so poor its unreal ,its coned out and all it is is two straights there and back about 200m each way with a mild hairpin both sides which u can take flat out.
The cars :
fucked all of them , engine managment lights on , brakes squelling even when not breaking , must be down the metal and not even that good , the lambo was the worst so heavy to drive and shit at stopping , the fezz stops better .
you also have to change gear at 4k RPM and thats not even a joke , its so poor , you really cant get a feel for the car, when you get shown over to the car you go straight out , i wanted to sit there for a while and have a look around the dash area. touch a few knobs . : )
the ferrari they had didnt have second gear so from 1st to third it was, i dont know if that was just a way of saving the gearbox by putting a restrictor on the stick its self so it would not engage 2nd but you cant even launch any of the cars in 1st , slow pull away everytime the instructors say.
you only get 6 laps in each car but if you get caught up behind a slower driver ( which you will coz 5 or so cars on thetrack means its busy as its to small to take a good number of cars ) you have to wait ages before u can over take so u could loose a few laps there , the laps are around 35 seconds i recon , so as you can imagine its a very small track
the insructors are pretty poor as well, not only do they make u change gear at 4k RPM but they make you stay in 3rd all the way round in the lambo, with everything else you only use 3rd and 4th so when you go round the end the car is going to slow so when u come onto the straight foot down and nothing ( makes me so angry writting this as it was such a waste of money, poor girlfriend, but she was not know know TBH )
I think the cafe coffee was the best thing there , everything is in shitty little porto cabins as well .
At the start of the day a fat women takes you into one of these porto cabins and gives you a brief run down how to take a perfect corner , bullshit TBH !
most of the day was standing round waiting for your name to be called to go into that particular car you have bought .
This is proberbly not what you wanted to hear mate but its the truth .
one thing that i did like was the focus mk2 st they had there running aston martin calipers.
when r u going ? is it to late to get ya money back
