Driving an Aston GT4 around Yas!

[JET-33]

i was luckily enough to get to drive an aston martin gt4 around the yas marina f1 circuit (shortened track) a week ago. it was my first ever time on a track so i was pretty excited and happy with the day! such a great experience and so much fun.

NOTE: the speedo on the screen says kmh but its actually mph (aston v8s dont do 140kmh on a 1km+ straight pretty cool doing 235kmh but they enforced very early braking zones (which is completely fair enough as basically anyone who paid could get a drive if they pre-booked early enough)

check out the video below (just a clip from the bigger video they gave me)

Hey Jet-33
Im going over in Oct - Nov to do the same: they wont pre book me though so have to wait for dates to get updated on the web site for November.
How many laps do you get? any advice on anything before i go?

I will be there for the F1 and V8's (son is engineer for Slade's car)

[JET-33]

the one i did started off with 2 sighting laps and basically 3500rpm or less (but they let you open it up a bit if it looks like your in control) and then you can open it up for 10mins. you then have 2 laps to let everything cool down a bit since its so hot there and then you go again for 10 mins. they usually only let you pass on the straight (back) but a few times around i was allowed to go pass others on different parts of the track. there was an instructir in each car so they advise you to slow down / speed up depending on whos around you and so on

it was fantastic...you wont regret it!
