Supercar Driving Days

[jay dh]

dads 50th coming up, mum wants to get him something nice

seen a couple of track days in supercars but was wondering if there were any you lot had heard of that maybe i have missed...

needs to be -

- the higher up the supercar ranks the better

- up to £250

- south east

top choice at the mo is a lambo murcielago (sp) and a ferrari 360 for £250, i think 3 laps in each car and 2 laps in a scooby turbo to get warmed up

2nd choice is a lambo murcuelargoembo (sp) on its own for £150 but this has more laps than the previous one..., 4/5 laps in this car and 2 laps in a something fast to warm up

both are in warrickshire

looked at porche, lotus, lesser ferrari and lambo's but all not as good

anyone got any ideas?

cheers

There's a company called 'Days to Amaze' they might have something you're looking for

ive looked at a few sites so its quite possible ive seen all the options, just asking in case someone throws in somat new

less than 5 laps for more than a 150! what a rip, id be wanting a day out of that!

[jay dh]

ive just found out that for the lambo and ferrari day its 2 laps in a scooby and 4 or 5 in each super car. track is 1.5 miles

gona for that one...

All sounds good apart from the scumbaru bit

be careful with these - they are pricey and you dont get long in the cars...

plus from what ive heard, they are really strict on how you drive them (cant rev about 4,500 etc)

[Caz SR]

Just out of interest - how much would it actually cost to hire a Lambo/Ferrari etc for the day?

Must be companies that do it and I'm wondering if there's much of a price difference in relation to the time you get?

[jay dh]

dont know on hiring but thats not what we wanted from this

I'm interested in this too as Lisas given me a £200 open ticket from buyagift.com. They do all sorts on there.

It was an engagement present, was well chuffed when it arrived!

This may be sacrilege on here but i'm seriously considering a day of thrashing tanks round!!!
