SilverSoop Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi all, im well chuffed, my confirmation has just come through as my girlfriend bought me a racing day with a Porsche 911 twin turbo or a ferrari 360 at Rockingham or Donnington. I chose Rockingham circuit as Donnington was fully booked and i will be driving the Porsche 911 twin turbo... My confirmation reads; Participant: Shane Carrington Activity provider: The racing school ltd (Rockingham) Location: Nr Corby, Northamptonshire Date of booking: Saturday 25th October 2008 Report time: 30 minutes prior Car details: Porsche 911 turbo (996 model) Max speed - 189 mph Acceleration (0-60) - 4.1 secs BHP - 420 Transmission - 6 speed manual Engine - 3.6 Twin Turbo I cant wait for this and it will be interesting to see how the 911 compares to the Supra TT... My girlfriend will be coming with me on the day, so i will post pics up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have never been to one of these before, is that what they do then?? Yeah they have the limit set very low and the instructor will be quite strict unfortunately. Still, a 911 is a lovely car and you'll get an idea of what it's capable of. Try and get a passenger lap with an instructor as well so you can see how it's "done". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instructor takes me out and then i get to drive... Ok, that's a shame that they dont let the Porsche unleash it's power but nonetheless, it will still be fun and i cant wait...

ShamelessTT Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I did a similar thing in a Ferrari 360, wasnt any rev limit unless it was above 5.5k (thats as high as i dared) . This was at Silverstone, short circuit, just 3 laps but the instructor was safe and pretty much let me loose. So you never know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just tell him that i drive a Supra TT and hope for the best that he'll let me have a 'proper' go with the Porsche! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
