Supercar Experience Trackday

[Clart]

Matey did a supercar day yesterday, some nice motors, but disappointing track layout and very limited places to take pics. Also was fcuking freezing and very windy which meant a lot of the pics didn't come out as i wanted. Still quite happy with some results considering its the first time I've used my new lens.

Pics taken with D50, Sigma 10-20mm and Sigma 70-300mm APO.

Awesome pics, what day/experience was this exactly? Looks like a very varied selection of cars.

 

[fUbAr]

excellent pics!

 

[Clart]

it was a driveme.net, not sure what exact package. He also drove a 4x4 through some puddles and did a couple of laps in 106 rallye car with some hand brake action

i went to the exact same place for my 30th birthday present ,still got the certificate and pics on the wall as we speak lol . did he get the hot ride in the lotus??? with one of the instructors driving . i had a great time

 

[marksman]

do they still use the left hand drive pug for the handbrake action???

 

[Revels]

Nice pics Ian. I take it the close up pics are using the 10-20mm lens?

The first one almost look like it "bends" I dont know the proper name for it.

 

[Clart]

he got the hot lap in the lotus, that thing sounds fcuked!

pug is a right hand drive and the close ups are with the 10-20

 

[marksman]

my experience was 2 years ago . and they still using the same lotus ...

 

[Clart]

Love the Impreza pic with the rear blurred, usually the sort of effect I go for, bit love or hate really but I love it.

Been looking at the same course on the INET.. Is it worth the coin?, and how long is a "Session".

 

[Mark One]

did anyone else notice just how similar the focus ST and lambo wheels are?

 

[marksman]

the session is all day , you just go in the same cars 2/3 times
depends on what experience you have , if you get the rally experience you do the evo / imprezza/ pug rally cars , if you get the supercar experience then you only drive the supercars .. hope this helps , this is what it was like 2 years ago anyway ....... lol

 

[KI8RKW]

ah right, so a take it a session is 2-3 laps.

Just the way it puts it on the Inet.. is there is 2 that seems appealing, one is all the super cars with 2 'sessions' on each car or one with all the supercars and the rallye cars with one 'session' on each car!

 

[Rage]

id go for a session in each....



noice care and the weather looks alot better

 

[marksman]

the only thing is they dont let you give it any stick in the corners ... i went to put the imprezza into 2nd to give it some and he put his hand on the gear stick and said "we wont be needing that gear lol"

 

[Clart]

the instructors are pussies to be fair, and the amount of people driving like grannies was ridiculous. You've paid a lot of money to drive fast cars, and then you drive them slowly. idiots.

My mate still managed to get the impreza sideways lol

 

[Ja5on]

awesome pics mate

again, what do you expect?

you're driving cars that don't belong to you and you expect to be allowed to drive them how you want?

not happening, as an instructor i know absolutely ZERO about your driving ability

Lee went out with out of my fellow instructors and was allowed to carry on with it, he listened and also respected the cars, he even got a Gallardo sideways and hit 160mph

if you act like a c**k and don't listen to the instructor you'll have a s**t time, if you listen to what we tell you you'll enjoy it

 

[Englebert]

Great pics Clarticus! They are a waste of one really, sort of 17 year old birthday present is their limit.

I imagine the instructors are told to be quite restrictive though, all about making profit.

spot on Fred.

£100k + cars and lads who they can't tell what your level of experience is.... would you throw the keys over to a complete strabger, given there's not even any speed limits to worry about?

 

[Christopher]

good work!

some good 'uns there!

 

[Scutch]

Looks like you had a great time
