My GTR track day at Silverstone

Well, just got back from my GTR experience at Silverstone bought for my birthday by my girlfriend.

 

It was an awesome experience - first got to drive the 370Z around for 4 laps - was a time to try to learn the circuit. The instructor was a little underwhelming & was constantly getting me to back off (even though I wasnt going that fast LOL!)

 

Next came the bad boy - the GTR :punk:

 

Was bloody awesome & was a much more exciting experience (no s**t lol!) - a new instructor was in this car & he was the nuts!! Constantly pushing harder & harder - went hammering past a few Ferarris on the track & Astons :thumbup: At one point I was right on the tail of a Ferarri 430 going into a corner - I backed off to take him as I exited & the instructor was going "dont slow down, just go round him!! go go go!!!" flat out around the outside & he was gone! :thumbup1:

 

Big thanks to that instructor who really made it a fantastic experience!!

 

Then a hot lap as a passenger in a Renault Megane 250 thing - that was a laugh - he didnt stop the wheels spinning around the whole circuit I dont think.

 

On to briefing afterwards & I got the second best result of our group - best was an American that was over here & just wanted to go to Silverstone - he has a GTR in the states that he races so was quite chuffed! Comments were funny too on the report LOL :lol:
