Track day for a huracan

[Ribacraig]

As per the title.

I have done a few track days in Porsche cars, Boxster gts and cayman s pdk. These cars were well suited for the tracks and although they aren’t cheap cars they were a lot less precious to me in terms of. Value compare to my now used low mileage huracan.

I fancy having a go in the huracan but I’m a bit of a lightweight and of course scared to damage it.
So I’m wondering if there is a track that is a bit less technical than say brands hatch, maybe some more longer straight sections that I can give it a blast without fear of going into the gravel.

I’m based in essex so nearer to here preferred but prepared to travel if I need to of course.

Thanks

Thanks.
Is snetterton an overtake on the right track?

Noted re self preservation but when I went on the brands hatch Indy track some melon did a 180 on the first bend in a Renault Clio just because he got excited. My abs kicked in and I was papping meself. He then gave me a toothless grin and said sorry mate I nearly wrote you off.

Lesson learned keep your distance 😂

Hmm and Bedford is closer to me so possibly the preferred option.

Silly question but would a standard huracan (2015) exhaust pass the static and drive by sound test.
My cayman s used to but that wasn’t as loud.

Agreed re brands Indy circuit on track evening.
I did some in my cayman s and didn’t feel comfortable with some of the behaviour of other drivers.

Went back on a Porsche only session and it was so much better with drivers being half sensible in the knowledge that they aren’t racing drivers and it’s supposed to be enjoyable.

Hence my desire to find somewhere more sensible where I won’t be risking destroying my pride and joy.

The thing about exhaust drive by and static testing does concern me but I can’t imagine a stock exhaust in my V10 would be too loud. It’s pretty much the same as an Audi R8.

I e looked at the Bedford Autodrome and it does look pretty decent but again it might depend on which part of the circuit you’re doing.
The evening sessions seem to be the SW circuit which still has a fair few twists and turns.
I wish it was closer so I could go and have a glance prior to booking something.

Lots to think about here but really keen to get out and test the beast under controlled conditions.

So the go circuit is the way to go then.

Will need to get some more information on the static and drive by noise levels. Which I don’t think is going to be too simple.

That’s interesting, I’m assuming that was in sports mode?

[Ribacraig]

Thanks for that, useful information.
Would not be able to do the upcoming one but at least I know what to look out for.

The thing that surprises me is that I’ve driven a cayman s with a sports exhaust and that met the regs and although the V10 is a nice sound I don’t feel it’s so loud.

Maybe my hearing is getting jaded.
