My Day Out At Silverstone Race Track

[benzoboy]

Well since it was the open weekend at Silverstone, my dad decided to take me there. Very fun may I say, a wide range of activities. I went on the Land Rover Defender Off-Road Experience, we went down 'Suicide Drop' a 15 foot drop at almost 90 degrees, pretty scary stuff. Then after that I got a go in a stock Ford Fiesta ST round the track with a touring ca rdriver behind the wheel, awesome may I add.
Then I managed to get a go on the Skid Control, which was a Audi A4 diesel with one of these on it (The frame, not the Bimmer) with an Ex-Rally driver at the wheel. It's pretty wild, so wild in fact, that the mud guard flew off!

Overall it was a great day out, and I would strongly recommend this. It's free too!

Sounds like you had a good day 👍

Any pictures or details of when the opendays run?

They didn't advertise this open weekend because i think it was the first, but since it was such a success, I'll be surprised if it isn't on again. My pics may come later... I guess I should also mention I have been signed up for rally lessons at Donnington Park, where I basically drive this around for an hour with an instructor beside me. First on tarmac, then on dirt
