Aliensurfer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) I had a driving experience day today down in Chipping Norton which was a prize I won through work. Quick summary considering I've never anything like this before: The GT3 was by far and away the most exciting of the cars to drive around the track. No driver aids, just raw power and really fun to take into the corners The Gallardo was an outstanding machine. Very very fast, and the 4WD made it so effortless to drive, I felt there was very little I could do to ever take it out of shape, unlike the Porsche The 360 was a mixture of both. RWD, less BHP but due to being lighter than the Lambo felt a little faster, but was way more exciting around the corners Vantage was boring and uninspiring, but then I guess you don't buy an Aston for track days. Aston's are still my Lottery Win car, but while the Vantage was a stunning car, it's more suited for road driving, so felt a little bit of a let down today. If they were to ask me to go back out in a car of my choice just for one more lap, I think I'd pick the GT3, which kind of annoyed me as I've always disliked Porsches! This was how I summed it up on Facebook... "Aston was boring and uninspiring. I'll comparing it to shagging the queen. The Lambo was awesome, power, looks and class. Whatever I did, she took. I'll compare it to shagging Beckinsale. The Ferrari 360 sounded incredible, faster than the Lambo with less bhp. RWD made you think you could twitch the back at any moment. I'll compare that to shagging Kimberly Walsh. The Porsche GT3... What a car. It's like shagging the dirtiest, filthiest pornstar you've seen, then when you're done she'll bring a mate and ask you to go again." Few pictures below I didn't manage to get the GT3 in a shot other than this one as i went out on the track while we took pictures. There was an RS8 there too but didn't get chance to drive it, together an Atom which flew around the track and made the rest of us look like pedestrians. Anyway, enjoy the pics Edited April 22, 2013 by Aliensurfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudzy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Looks like fun, I've done a day similar to yours but replacing the gt3 with an Impreza and evo. Those pictures are of a Ferrari 360 though, not a 355. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumbMC Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Did you drive a Vanquish and photograph a Vantage or did you get muddled up? I'm so envious of you!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliensurfer Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sorry, my mistake. I was chatting to a mate while writing the posts and my brain couldn't cope with all the car variable!. It was a Vantage and a 360 I drove as pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
