I was going to leave this testimonial until I got back to England on Sunday but I am still buzzing from the experience this morning I thought I'd do it now.
My day was booked a long time ago to coincide with my wife and I travelling Route 66 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately the two cars I wanted to drive (Aston Martin Vantage and McLaren MP4 12C) were unavailable.
Vegas Supercars contacted me whilst we were travelling and alternative arrangements were made in that I was to drive 5 laps in the C7 Stingray, 6 laps in the Gallardo and 6 laps in the 458 Italia.
On arrival because of the excellent and friendly welcome I added an additional two laps for the C7. I also wanted to do 5 laps in the Cayman but unfortunately they were over subscribed.
The briefing was very light hearted but gave us all the vital information we would need. The sighting lap in the Cayman was over in a flash and then it was time to drive the cars!
My first instructor Barry was fairly new to instructing but gave me excellent advice in the C7 Stingray that would prove very useful when driving my next two cars. My second instructor, who I believe was named Kyle, again was excellent and tried in vain to get me to tame the Gallardo, which was the car I set my fastest lap in. And then I went out in the 458 Italia with Ben, what a star this man is! I should have set my fastest time in this car but unfortunately lost it exiting the hump but at least I was trying!
Quote of the day from Ben was 'Patience Jedi' which had me laughing my head off when we watched the video playback.
I cannot recommend this experience highly enough, it was one of the greatest days of my life even though yesterday morning we were flying over the Grand Canyon in a Eurocopter!
To all the staff at Vegas Supercars please accept my heartfelt thanks for giving me a day I will remember for the rest of my life!
