K370Z2 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Just done a track day with the above "track day experience " driving the GTR Ariel Atom & Aston Martin & left feeling disappointed, not in the cars i chose but the restrictions in the driving whilst it was raining the limit in the speed to 70mph was laughable on a open track and the fact you only got 2 laps per car in each was poor. The positives the GTR felt great the Atom was full of torque the Aston smooth refined powerful acceleration. The instructors pleasant informative & calm in their guidance. I asked every instructor what was their favorite car and which one they would prefer as their track/own car - Answer GTR from all 3. I feel a purchase coming on.Ha Ha. The drive home via t he cost all the way back to Newcastle was more of an "experience" and even the wife agreed. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 They would not be saying GTR as there favourite track car if they had to pay for the brake and tyre replacement after every track day. Quote
Ekona Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 No great surprises, all of these experience days are massively limited in scope. Personally I'd rather do a trackday in my own car, or put a decent suit on and blag a test drive! Quote
GMballistic Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Pity you where limited to 70mph but I can understand why they do it. Next time book a single seater driving experience as then you can fully enjoy the car with no instructors frowning on your heavy right foot. Quote
Grundy Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Most test drives are like this, and the cars usually belong to the instructors them selves on some occasions. Quote
