Getting behind the wheel of a super powerful, super fast, perfectly tuned and utterly gorgeous automobile and being in control of all that magnificence at 160 mph or more is a recurring dream for an unknown but probably huge number of men (and women).
If someone you know and love harbours that dream, here’s a brilliant idea: give him (or her) the experience as a gift.
In the U.K. there is no lack of tracks and schools where such dream-fulfilment can take place. The possibilities are amazing; some offer a real racing experience where drivers compete with professionals, some specialize in just going very very fast, some offer classic sports cars to drive through the countryside. On the track or the open road, this is a rush that is hard to beat.
All of the reputable organizations will have a professional instructor in the passenger seat, and it makes sense that their main concern is to keep driver, passenger and vehicle in one piece and preferably unscratched. However, the instructor is usually a racecar driver and an expert who wants their protégée to have maximum fun, so heeding his or her advice will only enhance the enjoyment.
If the gift recipient has a particular dream car in mind, such as the Aston Martin DB9 or maybe a Ferrari 360 or a Lamborghini Gallardo, they are all out there, just waiting to give an adventurous driver the thrill of a lifetime.
