ive done the formula master at brands in megane r26 then a single seater ( a few years back now ) the megane was great fun , and done 2 palmersportdays which were amazing so not expecting to much from this just a bit of a taster of some exotica cars that i will probly never own , an excuse to get the lad off the xbox as well!

was a good day
I booked a 330pm slot but got there a little late so went on the 4pm slot which was better as there was only 3 of us on this slot the 330pm 1 was packed !
the signing on chat was ok , the chap doing the chat was probly a tad tired being the hottest day of the year kept getting hes words muddled up and was abit vague on circuit advice , then he moved onto the extras of the day which i got sucked into probly spent 4x what the original voucher cost
so 1st i went out in a brand new m3 saloon as a passenger for a few hotlaps and to get a feel of the day and how it runs ,the 2 quick laps we done held up alot by people driving round and waiting for them to indicate before we went past them which was on the left or right , when i done the formula master 10 years ago you could only pass on the left which seemed to work alot better, anyway that cost me an extra £25 the new m3 was lovely though
next my 14 year old went out for 3 laps in a Lamborghini Super Trofeo ! car looked like it was on rails compared to everything else on track , my lad couldnt speak for 5 mins when he got out was buzzing, hes smile was priceless , he loved it, that was an extra £50 notes
then i got in the cue to drive 1 of the 3 supercars that my birthday voucher was for i choose a nissan gtr ferrai calfornia and a lambo hurrcaine lambo £40 upgrade! waited in the cue for the gtr got down to 2nd in the cue then got told there stopping now for a break! come back in half an hour, 1 hour later they started again we was now in the evening session ! most of the instructors had gone home now and half the cars were getting loaded onto the lorry , i finally got my turn in the gtr done 3 laps and the instructor was pretty good let me push on in it , done another 2 laps extra in it for £25 car has some serious trcation control issues coming down into paddock hill bend, loved the car though a real beast and easy to drive
next i drove the california , i could floor this down into paddock hill and had no tc cutting in could really feel the grunt , instructor was great again and he made me feel like he was happy for me to push on in it
the hurricane was a very tight fit for me , being 6ft and nearly19 stone! but i was getting in that thing ! they moved the seat about to squeeze me in was very coszy me head was bent to the left as it was bent touching the roof , fires the beast up and wow was like a spaceship , on booting it down into paddock the noise was amazing massive grin on my boat race, defo the quickest car so far , on flooring it along the straight i was blown away by the noise , amazing car
last out me and my boy went out as a passengers in atom and the instructors passed each other every bend for a few laps , jesus them atoms are quick was great fun £59 extra , my lad loved it
in all a great day as it was last minite.com drove some cars that i probly never will again and that noise from the hurricane was unreal ,my fav was the california as was the most comfortable for me , my las said the atoms were hes fav
