Paul and I are only now recovering from what was a fantastic "Jolly" with Everyman Racing on their Ultimate Track Day. What a day! It definitely qualifies as JollyTastic!We spent Friday with the superb Everyman Racing team at Prestwold Hall near Loughborough, and we drove some of the finest supercars available. To be precise, we drove a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Porsche Cayman, a Ferrari 360 and an Aston Martin DB9. We also drove preparation laps in a Subaru and for fun we drove a class N rally VW Polo!
After the sign in and safety briefing, we were driven around the circuit in the Subaru by one of the excellent instructors. We then drove the Subaru ourselves so that we were familiarised with the track. It was then straight into the supercars. We were superbly guided through the driving idiosyncrasies of each car and then around the circuit for three laps. This was repeated in the afternoon.
All of the instructors had their own style, but none of them were there to spoil our fun. On the contrary, they gave great instruction and encouragement to drive the cars as fast as we could..... safely!
The organisation was first class and all of the paying guests were made to feel very welcome. Even the poor guy who spun the Ferrari off the track and about 30' into the rape field was not given a hard time! The Everyman Team just called for a replacement Ferrari, which arrived within minutes and the fun continued.
With only eight drivers, there was very little waiting between drives. During this time free refreshments were served to anyone who wanted them. We were give a lovely buffet lunch and at the end of the day there were prizes (and booby prizes!) for the drivers who had impressed the instructors in one way or another!
