I did one a while back......

Definately a vote for the gallardo, best car i've ever driven on a track. 360 was very disappointing though, didn't inspire confidence and was rubbish in the wet (vs 130 in the gallardo and confidently sideways in the same conditions!)

If it was me i'd also go for a spin in the GTR, for the sub-3s accelleration if nothing else Cool

I did one recently at an airfield in Essex, took the Lotus Evora, Audi R8 and Ferrari F430.

Lotus felt slow.

The R8 was nice, trouble was it was an automatic and the instructor wouldn't let me put it in flappy paddle mode. She also made me pull over and gave me a massive telling off for doing a huge powerslide out of a chicane (planned of course, and totally in control) but she went bananas and I had to take it steady after that. I complained to the organisers and they did say that instructor was a bit "twitchy"

The F430 was in flappy mode, and was by far the best. Really enjoyed driving it, and as it was my last drive of the day I did the same power slide out of the same chicane on my last lap, and the instructor said it was "very well controlled" LOL

Only trouble was, the track was too short and the surface not great. The chicanes were set with cones/markers which made taking proper lines too hard - £500 excess for marking the car if you hit the cones Roll eyes

But for £139 for 3 laps in each, I was happy with it!
