Track Day Today..

Not sure where to put this....

Last Christmas I was bought a great present from the wife and kids - a track day, Aston Martin DB9 Vantage and Audi R8.

Luckily the weather was great and I managed to not crash anything.

A few pics of one of the corners:

Overtook the Ferrari....


Overtook the other R8.....


Pulling away from the R8...




Went around in a Scooby with an instructor first and when he found out I was doing the DB9 and R8 he suggested that I should go in the DB9 first then the R8 as I would get the best out of them.

Ended up having to do it in the opposite way.

And a short video of me driving the DB9 (first lap to not very fast...)




Which one was my favorite??

I preferred the DB9 over the R8 I'm afraid (could be because I was more used to the track) as I could ring its neck a bit more+++

Cheers

was it at croft ?

Nope - at a track I have never visited before - Prestwold Hall near Loughborough.

Very tight, but quite enjoyable

Where you allowed to give them any stick?

My brother did a Lambo day and went home at lunch time because they wouldnt let him rev the car over 4k or something silly.

I had the same. 4 Hour drive to get there, 4 hour s back and not allowed to give the Lambo or DB9 the beans. Pretty boring really.

Yep - especially as you went past the pits - they wanted you to drop it a gear and floor the throttle..... so I did

I went there for the R8 drive and they let me enjoy myself fully!!
