The other two Ferrari's needed far longer in the driving seat than you actually got to be able to drive them well...the gears are shocking to be honest!!
The Scoob was awsome as i already knew how to drive it pretty well, having one at home helps( all be it not quite as quick)...fantastic Prodrive set up!!

They also have a huge off road track for 4x4 days and rally driving... i also got a ride in their rally spec car with a semi pro driver....absolutely awsome!!But scary!!
The whole thing cost £250 to drive the Ferraris and the ride in the rally spec car. The drive of the Scooby was an extra £50 but i just couldnt resist comparing it to my own...Mine has 286bhp their Prodrive built car has 380bhp...what a difference that 100bhp makes!!

he got a drive in a brand new tuned pug and an elise aswel that was at Silverstonei think that these experience things are a great idea, for people to drive their dream cars if they wouldn't normally have the chance to. Another family member went for a Porsche drive, and me, i had a first drive experience at Rockingham Motor Speedway which imeasurably brilliant!
big smilies!

I had the Ferrari drive a year ago. A few laps in a Proton GTI, OK. A few in a Elise, Brilliant. and then a few in the 355, awesome acceleration from 1000 to 8000 rpm.
The only negative point was it being a left-hooker. I'd never driven one before, so promptly forgot everything of where the track went and spent about 40% of my concentration remembering to change gear and not wind the window down! Oh, I so want one though!
