Ferrari Track Day

[Chuck04]

As part of an xmas gift from the girlfriend i was given a classic ferrari experience, i get to take the ferrari 308 qv out on goodwood for 3 laps. Will be doing it this on monday, dead excited about it, any one else taken part in this or simular? Any last words of wisdom :D

will post up any pics if the gf manages to get any on monday evening

[Moffmo]

your girlfriend rocks!!

[T600]

You lucky *****. :D

That'll be fantastic. I've done a few experience days though never a Ferrari one. You're going to enjoy that so much. I'd love to do the Ferrari one as I can't see me ever owning one.

Tips -

they probably already told you what you need to wear - especially correct footwear. You probably need to take both parts of your licence with you.

If possible get someone else to drive you back from it - it's easy to forget you're no longer on the track.

Enjoy, and try not to break it :D

We'll look forward to the pics on Monday.

she does indeed rock!!, very lucky guy i know :D

indeed, need to cover arms so ill be waring a long sleeve top me think!! all im hoping is its dry, weather forecast say it will be so keeping fingers crossed

and i have no intention of braking the thing, altho i do plan to get my moneys worth as they say

was so shocked when opened it, the car is a classic and i agree with u t600, something i cant see myself owning, so next best thing, taking someone elses onto a track

Nice one!!!!!

I have never been ona track in any car other then my own, so its probably quite different!!!

WE are too skint for pressies like that... but for valentines day my other half bought me a years top gear subscription

[Kev Mc]

lucky :censor: I wanna go!!!

That's something I'd love to do but they usually need you to have had your licence for 3 years before they let you go near them. I think I'll wait til I've got a more powerful car too

[Chuck04]

hehe :D

i think most of them you have to be 21!, this one u dont tho

[clarky]

Rag it mate - I kept getting the lectures about being careful on my rally driving day - but at the end of the day when are you next going to be able to give it some in a ferrari!

About the only thing thats really stayed with me from my day was with rear wheel drive get the wheels straight - then FULL throttle!

Have fun - and tell Kirsty to take loads of pics!!

[jay dh]

look forward to the pics

somat to talk about when we catch up neway!

[Demonic Angel]

Brilliant stuff - put the peddle to the meddle Charlie and enjoy it - it sounds ace - I hope Rich doesnt read this - he might be wanting one!

[StacytheBloke]

NIIIICE!

my friend did one... he is about 6ft 4 and could only fit in the car with the roof down!!! (lucky it was a concertably) and the ferrari was left hand drive!

[Chuck04]

yea a few of them there were, mine was right hand drive tho , left hand would have really thrown me !

well as promised here is a pic, best one really the rest were just me gettin into the car, sorry for the quality, its a pro photo i got printed there but then taken on cam phone to get it onto comp rather than scanning

[clarky]

Looks damn fine mate - you reckon they chose the most unflattering helmuts on purpose?

[Chuck04]

who knows, but kirsty was wetting herself when i put it on <_<

[jay dh]

[Moffmo]

LoL at the helmets, reminds me of little lego man.

Glad to hear ya had a good time though :D

[Chuck04]

ta mate - the car itself was loverly, very comfortable and true old school interior but i loved the look and feel. took bit of getting used to, heavy stearing and accelerator, but such a buz :D woulld highly reccomend! The course itself was ace to drive aswell nice and easy in my opinion so great for beginners to try it out
