I know what you mean Davey, The R8 one they wouldn't let me thrash it which was a bummer.
But the Lambo and Ferrari one I had the same guy and he only said slow down once when I caught the apex a bit too much, otherwise the whole time it was pushed to my personal limit.

I supposed I'd like to just fuck about.. Something like a Gaylordo or F355 arent particularly fantastic track cars but you could have soooooo much fun just fucking about on a track
The sort of tit'ing around that clarkson does would entertain me far more than driving round a track quickly and efficiently

if i was you dont go to mental at the start incase you spin it and they take you off. i just got quicker and quicker every lap and as soon as he said its the last lap i just went flat out as it was near the end of my shot anyway so didnt matter if i spun it.

I won't do, I've always wanted to do one of these and have never driven a supercar before so I think it'll be like my first driving lesson were I'm trying not to wheelspin/stall.
Are there professional photographers there does anyone know?

they don't let you do a full throttle start so the likelyhood of you spinning it is very low.
i was very suprised at how manageable the power was in the 430 scuderia (500 odd bhp), didn't have any problems at all.
all i remember is the cabin noise, couldn't hear the instructor at all so he had to signal when to change up/down on the paddles and the point and turn handling, was like no lowered 106 gti on the plantet.

Nice one Ben. 
Might ask someone with a decent camera aswell if they'd like to pop along and get some fantastic photos for me.
