i did similar thing on my 18th. Went to brands hatch with the Nigel Mansell school of racing. Went round in a BMW touring car and like a formula ford single seater, then got took round in some custom 2 seater with me as the passenger......that was bloody quick. I was thinking about getting in to karting again. I used to race down at Rye House, Buckmore and PF International between 1992-1996. Use to see a very young Lewis Hamilton every month too, knowing what i know now i should of been mates with him

Has an immense day. The ride in a mazda3 just to learn the corners then straight in a cayman. Caymans fun to drive only hit 100 overall as they don't let you rev so mad. Jumped in the 355 and it was left hand drive! The throttle wasn't smooth it was stiff and the first point so kept jumping a .. Gone hit 125 on the straights.Started raining as I got in the pits after the 355. Took a high speed rx8 ride and got a bit sideways which was awesome Overall cracking time and thruxton staff and instructors are top can't wait to book my f430 and go again!

Woop! Tommorow at 9:50 I get to drove the Ferrari F430 along with the Renault mini F1 car, still get a ride in the mazda3 and drive a porche cayman as well. I had a letter to upgrade to a scudaria or something for £25 but it was a little late to book it

Was a cracking couple hours, Ferrari was quick as hell and when I put my foot down the noise was awesome. Then say in a Renault f1 alone that was an awesome experience, just me and no instructor, by the last lap I was shooting around the track and the noise and the whole cockpit was vibrating at like 4500rpm lol was great I recommend it to anyone.
