[ Ferrari F430 Thrill : £79.00 ]

Product Information
The standard F430 is one of the finest sports cars in the world, but then Ferrari decided to make it just that bit better. The Scuderia is more track-focused, more powerful, lighter and better balanced than the original. The result is a truly astonishing car that produces 503bhp and an engine noise like a jet fighter. You'll begin with a briefing, then your instructor will drive you for three laps in a Mazda 3 MPS to familiarise you with the driving lines of the circuit. Next you'll take over the driving seat for four laps in a Porsche Cayman. Then at last you'll slip behind the wheel of the F430 Scuderia for four mind-blowing laps. Be warned, this Italian missile is capable of 0 - 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of almost 200mph; it's not for the faint-hearted. You'll finish driving five laps in a Formula Renault single-seater - sitting two inches off the ground, with lightning-quick steering, this little dynamo of a car gives a totally different ride to the Ferrari.
