Driving Gift.....Tockwith circuit
stevegough - 15/4/12 at 09:01 AM

I have had a rather cool present given to me, and as a result, I have now booked my 'Tockwith Ultimate supercar experience' for the 5th May.


Linky


I also have on order some superb weather for the event...... I hope!

Anyone done any of these? I have only ever done one other which was a 'rally day' which was absolutely rubbish - twenty five of us stood around waiting for our 10 minutes learning how to do handbrake turns in....a Daewoo Lanos!

That looks like good value, the word supercar is very overused nowadays though. I think the lambo would be my favourite.

I got one for my birthday a week ago. Not booked yet, but is a double "supercar" so get to drive 2 cars, either Lambo, R8, Ferrari 360, aston DB9, porsche etc

Cant wait... enjoy your day

Looks like a fun afternoon at that. One of my best kart races was at tockwith, racing against people who hadnt done it before. I finished 3 laps up Like a collection of moving chicanes. It was their day out from work and id been invited at the last min by my bro who worked there, and ended up taking their trophy home!

Well, silly grins all round - every car was a great drive, the circuit was pretty small, triangular - 3 straights with chicanes on each so you couldn't really open them up as I'd have liked to......

the Audi R8 was a no - show, so I ended up with an Mitz EVO 10 or 11 instead.

As I think one of you said, the crown has to go to the Lamborghini - it really is worth all the hype! Very closely followed by the Ferrari - both were absolutely amazing, sorted cars and I now have some idea of why people rave about them.

Having said that, both the Scooby and the EVO were right on the pace with the 'supercars' - the evo was especially tight and precise - the only disappointment I have to say was the Aston - it is a heavy (2 tons!) car, and not really suited to the track - having said that, as a choice for a road car......I think it would be a different animal entirely.

Now as promised....some pics......
