This is absolutely the most fun you can ever have with your clothes on! Actually, this was more fun than some of those unclothed times.
I was lucky enough to be able to have a good time in 3 very different cars.
I started out in some good old American iron. A Corvette Grand Sport for 5 laps. The Corvette surprised me on how fast it was and how well it gripped the track. What a great choice to start my day and learn the track.
Next was the Audi R8 for another 5 laps. Talk about a day and night difference. The 'Vette was a raw and brutal beast. The Audi was graceful dance partner. It didn't feel as quick on the straights but, on those turns, it glided. Just point and go.
Next was the car I drooled over for decades. A Porsche 911. This wasn't just any 911. It was the mighty Porsche 997 Turbo S. Think of twice the power of the Corvette with even more finesse than the Audi. By the time I got to this car, I was familiar with the track and was getting comfortable at speed. I had booked 5 laps but when I got to the track and they saw I was a local, they offered up an additional lap for free in any of my 3 cars. (Can we say Porsche?) 6 laps around the track, driving perfection. WOW!
I really, really need this car. Are you listening honey?
The 3 instructors that came with me were incredible. They worked hard to point out the best lines and egg you on to go faster and turn smoother. I don't think I could have had as much fun without them riding shotgun.
After my session the manager came up to me and said there was a problem. It seemed that when I was driving the Audi, I only got 4 laps instead of 5. He apologized profusely and said I could either go back out in the Audi for 3 more laps or go on the 2 lap Corvette drifting ride-along. I was truly impressed.
I chose the ride-along and haven't regretted it for a moment. May I recommend that, no matter what you have to do, go for the ride-along after you drive whatever it is you're going to drive. It was THAT good.
It just might be more fun you'll ever have........even with your clothes off.
