Drive an Audi R8?

Post by jc74 »

Completely off-topic, but this is the Off Topic forum :)...

There's a special offer to drive an Audi R8 3 laps around Silverstone for just £50!!!
I would do it, but am busy during the dates (11 and 13 May only dates left at the moment), so any takers?...

Hmm, I might have been up for this until I found out that you have to be 21 or older :(

being a very lucky guy i have driven quite a few, and allthough the v8 ones are good, they feel so slow compaired to the v10, but the clutch is alot jumpier when driving around town, but guess you wont have that problem on track lol if it was for the v8 then i wouldnt really bother to be honest, unless your going on a rainy day as it will be a bit easier to control lol

Thanks jc74 for posting this I have just booked it for the 11th may. It's an early start to get there in time but I think it will be worth it.

And having never been lucky enough to ever drive anything remotely like this before I really can't wait.
