Hi,
A friend of mine is looking at getting a Huracan in the next few months, and as a taster we'd like to have some time at a track day at Oulton park in one. I've looked on Google of course but can't seem to track this down anywhere. I'm a long time Porsche owner and have done many of the experience days at Silverstone which is great for this kind of things, but wondering if Lamborghini does anything like this?

I don't think Lambo themselves do this, but there are numerous companies like "Red Letter Day" that do supercar experiences where you get chaperoned around for a few laps in a few cars.

Some are run by the circuit themselves, others by companies who hire the circuit (there was someone on here did it with a Murci for a while.

If you do go on one of those experience days, go midweek. We went to Thruxton a while ago for a skidpan day a while back one Sat and the experience day was very busy, but they went around in a convoy nose to tail.

2 min on Google found me this... no connection to them.

the experience days are utter rubbish. Could drive my van quicker round the track, you'll get nothing from it.
I've been on a lambo trip to imola when expressing an interest in buying one.
It might be worth having a chat with your local dealer to see if they can sort anything.

as above, most experiences are half revs, half speed jobs

simon george here https://www.6thgearexperience.com/ is the pistonheads chap, and the company i'd go for

Thanks, I've looked at those sites but they're all a bit lame, for first timers. I'm really looking for something for experienced people with higher end kit like the latest supercars. The last day I did like this was with McLaren, where you get 3x 20mins in a 765LT for £1500 at Silverstone.

Not likely to happen at Oulton realistically, is it? Silverstone is fine - very wide, with acres of run-off. Oulton not so much! It's narrower, very little run off in places and a few corners where it's very easy to get it wrong!

Agree about experience days, you’ll be going slow, shouted at and patronised if you claim you can drive etc
