A Driver’s Dream Day

So like many people, you have the need for speed but possibly not the money for a supercar, which can all too easily tip the £100k mark. You may have the money, but are these powerful supercars really worth all the hassle of ownership? To begin with, there are the crippling running costs, which granted may not be such an issue if you are fortunate enough to fork out over 100k for a supercar. Another fact to consider is that you can’t drive the car to its maximum on any road in the UK, not only because it is illegal and it is important to obey the laws of the roads (obviously) but because none of our glorious roads are designed for such high speeds, the drivers we share our roads with also won’t be prepared for a supercar bearing down on them in their rear view mirror!  Continuing on the topic of roads, we are sure you will not enjoy driving your super low supercar over the masses of speed bumps and potholes which characterise UK roads, wreaking havoc not only on your suspension, but your vertebrae too.   There is also the unwanted attention of driving one of these cars, yes attention firstly sounds pretty appealing, especially if it is from members of the opposite sex… but this really only happens in films… It’s sad but its true; women will not hurl themselves at you if you drive a nice car. Attention will more than likely originate from a very different source – boring middle aged men, asking questions about the car you don’t know the answers too… All in all, that supercar you had your eye may not seem the best option now!

Fortunately however, there is a way of getting around this problem; the solution is a track day with a company like Everyman Racing. Everyman Racing are experts in providing bespoke driving experiences. With seven sites across the UK they have a garage crammed full of cars which would make the world’s biggest and richest supercar fanatics jealous, to name just a few; Aston Martin’s, Ferrari’s, Porsche’s, Audi’s and Lamborghini’s. They allow you to experience all the thrills of a supercar, without the many drawbacks.  From the stripped out rapid tarmac tearaway Catherham to the deceptively quick Hummer there really is something for every petrolhead. For those among us looking for the more traditional and sophisticated supercar experience then the ‘Italian Stallions’ package may be your best option. This is your chance to try out the best Italian supercars available, the Lambo’s and Ferrari’s! With a price tag topping £130k you can take to the seat of the cars usually reserved for the world’s most rich and famous and push them to their very limits, thanks to instruction from your expert instructor. If the tarmac isn’t for you, one of the rally or off road packages is bound to take your fancy. Climb aboard one of the Jeeps and explore the ‘Jurassic Zone’ the superb purpose built off road course or alternatively fly through the British countryside at breakneck speeds in one of the purpose built rally cars, including the Famous Subaru Impreza and the legendary Mitsubishi Evo, cars favoured by the world’s fastest rally drivers.

If you want the speeds thrills but want to leave the driving to the professionals, Everyman Racing also offer passenger experiences. All of the same supercars available your expert driver will test the cars to their limits whilst you grip on and enjoy the ride! An Everyman Racing experience day, really is the next best thing to owning your very own supercar.
