Ultimate boys toys

My brother in law won a chance to drive a supercar on a race track, but he didn't want it so gave it to me

Just got back had a great time first of all did a couple of laps in a subaru impreza



Then did 4 laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo I managed to get it up to 120MPH but couldn't go faster as the straight wasn't long enough, but still a great expriance




and here's a few of the other cars that was there

way to go !- my dad used to arrange all the corporate hospitality for BP, which was awesome, especially when BP sponsored leyton house F1 team, they did a ' track day' for clients once at silverstone, it was great, as my dad set it all up and it was a huge amount of business for the silverstone rally and driving school - at the end of the day we got to have a go for free, i loved it, - but nothing as sleek as the cars you were driving, we had to make do with a jag Xj sport and single seater F 3 cars......

but on a totally seperate event i got to be driven round brands hatch by steve parish, ( truck racing driver in the Green mercedes wanelius racing truck...... now that is wild- a different thril than in a car, - you have to keep reminding yourself that its a truck cab !!!!- they should not lean like that !!!!


glad to hear you had a great day John..... great memories and after all no one can take that away from you - savour and enjoy the day !!!!!
