After my experience day in Vegas taking cars out WITHOUT instructors and my wife not really enjoying being a passenger at triple figures speeds on roads in Vegas I decided to get her an experience day - especially as it was half price
She did it at Prestwold and it was a good day even if it was a bit wet
She drove the Aston, F430, Nissan GTR and Mclaren. Got some pics and will upload a few more later
Must say the GTR sounded the best as both the mclaren and 458 weren't in port mode as when I drove the 458 in vegas it was far louder than here but I believe that's down to noise restrictions
Main thing was my wife enjoyed it

I've got one booked with the racing school (i think) as that's who I had one with about 4 years ago and they surprisingly wanted me to really push the cars (admittedly having driven track days in my own vehicles the definition of push has changed) so I'm always interested to hear which companies have what approach to it all.
As long as your Mrs enjoyed herself that's the main thing.
Edit: booked to drive a 12c and a supercharged atom.

Like I said the 458 in Vegas was super loud in sport mode
They couldn't run in sport mode due to noise restrictions

Do you mean a 430 Scud or a 458 Speciale?
