I was at one of those racing experience days today. I wasn't driving, but a few of my friends and I went down just to have a look at the cars and watch the driving, cos it was free entry. We saw some nice cars, a pair of 360 spyders, a 550 maranello, an M12 GTO, a Mk1 E type, a pair of 328s and a testarossa.
As I was wandering round, I picked up a leaflet with the prices on and It wasn't as costly as i'd imagined. The pick of the lot for me was Porsche one, with a warm up in a "hot hatch" (presumably one of the focus RS that were loitering around the back) 4 laps in a boxster, then some tutoring and then a blast around in a 911. It caught my eye because it's only £195 and it seemed a bit more on the sensible side. (Don't fancy stepping straight into an M12 somehow...)
So basically to get to the point, I really fancy it, but I'm not a particularly skilled driver, I've never been on a track but I've got a pretty good understanding of a racing line.
Has anyone else tried one of these?
Would they recommend them?
Is there perhaps a better first step into track driving?
