Birthday Trackday Choices :)

Bigw2069 · 25-09-2006, 22:13

Twas my Birthday yesterday and SWMBO got me a gift voucher for a trackday at Knockhill, The 3 choices are:

1, Seat/Single seater experience - For high speed adrenaline and a true Formula 1 style experience you cannot beat this one! Our fully qualified instructors will help you master the twists and turns of the famous Knockhill circuit in a superb SEAT Ibiza Cupra. This is followed by two eye-opening demo laps by your instructor preparing you for the drive of your life… Solo in one of our brand new Honda Blackbird motorcycle-engined Single Seaters for an awesome driving experience. Feel the speed!

2, Legends Experience - Make no mistake, this is a SERIOUS racing car! Legends Cars are just about the most fun you can have sitting down! Start your session behind the wheel of a superb SEAT Ibiza Cupra before taking the wheel of the gutsy single seater Legends race car. As your confidence builds up you can start to explore what these dynamite machines are really capable of.

3, Rally Experience - It’s a sideways world! Well, it is on our purpose built rally stage (as driven by Colin McRae). Our fully prepared Group N Rally Cars are perfect for learning the unique driving skills required for Rally Driving. The grin factor on this course is amazing; our fully qualified instructors will encourage you to drive in a way you never dreamt possible. You have the opportunity to impress your instructor with your new skills during your assessment run but beware, the finale is a spectacular ‘hang on to your hat’ high-speed demo run driven by your instructor. Pure adrenaline!

I did the legends experience a couple of years ago and it was a hoot, and I have done the rally experience 7 years ago but it was on the circuit itself not the custom built rally track they have now. I am a little concerned I wont get my bulk into a single seater too

So anyway, given the choice what would you do?

take a chance on the single seater one , you do the Seat Ibiza bit then if you dont fit in the single seater they will have to give you another go at something else , well you can only hope

Single Seater will be the best fun

Go for the one with the most laps.

Chances are you wont be able to use the potential of whichever is the most powerful as they'll eithe rbe restricted or beyond your ability.

More laps in a lesser car is always more fun, you'll spend the first 3 laps getting used to things then they'll pull you in and try to sell you some more, so make sure you get more than 3 laps if possible (or ensure the present includes some extra laps

)

Rally, then you're encouraged to get it sideways, do it in the single seater and they'll flag you.

Belated happy birthday mate, go for the single seater you should fit in OK but may not get out.
