Ferrari Enzo Passenger Ride Experience - CGT Also There

At last year's NEC Classic Motor Show, I bought a charity ticket for a 3 lap ride in an Enzo.

NEC Classic Car Show - Drives for Charity

Well today was the day, and boy was it fun.

Many thanks to Paul and Serena for their hospitality at Silverstone, and to Goldtrack who they were running with.

The accelaration and braking on that car are simply awesome, something I have not experienced before - any chance to do a passenger ride at a PCGB Track day in a similar car is highly recommended.

Unfortunately only two of the six planned rides could be given in the afternoon session (fortunately I was one of them), as the front brake pads were shot and the discs began to score - car was booked in for a service already, but now it also needs £8.5K of discs Sad

The 911 Experience were also there with their cars, as were various Lambos, Ferraris and a few GT3RS (including 2 997). Porsche Solihull were also there with a Carrera GT.

Pictures as ever on photobucket :-
