Life is An Experience Drive A Ferrari Day out

Has anyone been to one of these, it's at rockingham valid for 10 months so will look to go when its warmer.

The car is imaged as a 360, i've never driven anything with that amount of power available i've been a passenger in an LP640 Roadster however so i can understand the speed.

So, what should i expect?

It varies. A friend did one of these at Silverstone some time ago in an F355, and the instructor encouraged him to press on and use the majority of the rev range. But I've heard a lot of companies will have a strict rev limit and you may be disappointed.

I've always advised against the 'supercar' experience packages as IMHO they offer quite poor value for money. For similar money, rally or single seater experiences offer more enjoyment if you're a more focused driver and not a badge snob

The Palmersport package at Bedford Autodrome is very good, get to drive Clio Cups,911 GT3, M3's and Caterhams on different tracks. Give them a call.

I did the 360 experience earlier this year. The instructor was very encouraging, let me give it a damn good thrashing which was fun but I wasn't massively impressed by the car itself.
If I was to do it again I think I'd spend a bit more and drive a few more cars on the day, I reckon the Atom would be pretty impressive.

Waste of money unless you have a fetish for sitting in a supercar and driving it around at town car speeds, in the middle of nowhere.

The Palmersport day would be far better.

Will they accept his Rockingham voucher then?

I'd call Rockingham and see if they do a single seater one you can swap with.

The Palmersoprt day is around £800 though isn't it, a Ferrari day will be what £200/250?

I was bought an experience day a couple of years ago and was able to choose what I did and where. Went for a single seater day at Mallory Park and it was great. It was a full day rather than 2 or 3 hours and got to drive 5 or 6 cars throughout the day.
