Porsche centre Silverstone - run your own car

[cobalt911]

Hi there,

Has anyone done the £165 half day at Silverstone where you run your own car around the Porsche track? Not a bad price to get some tuition and also a bit of time in another car too. I have to (someone has to) do a Ferrari 355 experience up that way and wondering if it would be a worthy addition!

Cheers,

Mark

If this really is on £165 for a half day with tuition on the Porsche special track(s), with my own car, then maybe it's worth a few of us 993ers going along as a group for a fun (half) day out - I'm particularly interested in taking my own car on their track - I know a 997.2 is going to be amazing, but I want to understand the dynamic of my own car!

The latest press release I had from Porsche about this said that the instructors giving tuition on this deal are now Vicky Butler-Henderson and Mark Webber! It also said that you do half of the time in your own car and half in a 997 provided by Porsche.

I'd like to do both this own-car session and the other new session where to get to play with three different generations of 911.

 

[cobalt911]

Sounds like there is some interest then ha ha...

Will look into some dates...

Turns out the "drive your own car" experience isn't quite available yet - see this thread in the 996 forum.

I believe it is Vicky Butler-Henderson and Tiff Needell. (Joke! - Couldn't resist). It will be the centre instructors, but I don't hknow any more details than are on the flyer or the web site.
