My god it was brilliant. If I had the money I know I'd have a Lamborghini without a doubt.
Got there for half ten, went got a cuppa and get myself signed in. by the time it was my turn for the tutorial it was 11:30 and I was getting mroe & more excited. So we had a brief about the track and how some cars handle different to others which was interesting. Got too out in the (red) Subaru Impreza and got told where to de-acclereate/accelerate into corners etc which also was interesting as it was my first time on a race track. The race track in question is Pretswold Leicstershire whch is approx 1.8miles. I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking. At one stage the instructor allowed me to overtake the Orange Lambo on a straight and it was awesome.
The Track:
En Route
On arrival we seen the rally cars;
Around the Pits:
Even the Stig made an appearance and was driving the Atom

Is that circuit map the actual route you did? Usually the chicanes are just for bikes
So did you ask the instructor out for drinks after?

@ Daverskater
Mike B - No we didn't use the chicanes, can't get a exact map of the track.

to reduce noise, track will have a noise limit, lambos probably exceed it in standard form
