Prestwold Hall Racing Day

[conyers111]

I have been given a present for the above, can anyone tell me what the track is like and if there are any other cars to drive on the day ( I am driving 355 and 360 ).

Thankyou.

Orange Diablo (mind the brakes!), Viper ( better than expected!), Noble, 360 spyder and a 328QV.

Good day, but the circuit is a bit mickey mouse.

I quite liked Prestwold until they stopped track days due to noise (tyre squeal rather than engine noise).

Very smooth circuit grade surface with plenty of run-off in most places. Not a difficult circuit and you can get a decent speed up.

And don't hit any peacocks on the way in - they don't appreciate it.

I did the five supercar challenge there for my 40th last year, we were split up into 3 groups of five and the ferrari experience people were also split into groups, in total I think there were 30 of us in the morning and another 30 in the afternoon.
The track has only got short straights and when I was there aquaplaning was a problem so the quickest I managed was 180kmh in the dodge viper, which felt bloody good because I left a 308 for dead I crept up behind him going in to a bend and when he realised I was there we both it the throttle at the same time, the viper made the older ferarri look like a morris minor. Awesome car the instructor got me to do a couple of laps in third,just to show me the speed range and tourque of an 8ltr engine.
The cars are:
1.Red dodge viper convertible
2 Orange lambourghini diablo(now been replaced by Murcialago).
3.blue noble (nice)
4.sl55amg
5.Orange lotus exige(this was smoking badly and pinking I would be surprised if it's still running).
6. yes I know I said 5 but the lambo broke down after me and two others had already driven it, so they let us start again in the owners ferrari 550:Thumbup:nice one!
There are also 3 focus r.s's as well which you will be taken out in by an instructor to show you the racing line.
I'm sure you will have a brilliant day it is something I will never forget.

Forget the ferraris, I want a go in a viper!
