Went to Silverstone earlier this year on one T. It was brilliant although the driving was over really quick ( just as I was getting into it ). Got to drive an AM Vantage and a Ferrari 360. I got it as a present and had a tour first which was great so can't comment on cost but looking at that link I would say its got to be worth that money. Love to have a bash in an Lambo.

The lil lady's father had one bought for him for his birthday at Goodwood, and as Mark said it's over very quickly
Over very quickly, is that what your Mrs says!
On a serious note, you got a Lancia Intergale?
And it's Integrale and yes
fooking phone!
My mate had one, 'back in the day' lovely car, sort of gunmetal grey with suede interior. Was tempted to buy it off him when he put it up for sale, the only sticking point was the fact that it was LHD.
Me, I had a lowly Lotus Sunbeam at the time, we never did have that race.

Lotus Sunbeam now that's an underated car...
Had a mate back in the day that always wanted one of those, ended up with the 1.6Ti?? or was it the 1.5 can't remember, but had the Lotus alloys and paint job (black with silver band) . Having a race between a Lancia and Talbot Sunbeam (as i fondly remember them as), probably wouldn't be anything in it, until the bends then 4wd would take over
As for being over too quickly for the Mrs, never had any complaints from mine or yours TBH the only complaint is from yours about the extra length and girth
Had a Ferrari experience bought for me as a prezzie for being best man, tbh it was shit, the guy kept kicking off every time I gave it some, ruined it for me... Best bit was a freebie blast around in a 911 turbo (kept me waiting ages for my first drive and they were rewarding my patience) by an ex race driver, best fun I've ever had with my clothes on... Couldn't believe how he literally chucked it round corners whilst giving a running commentary.
Been on a supercar experience myself and have to say it was poor. Standing in line for a 20 minute drive in a car and then made to feel honoured for the privilege, to be honest you are best off giving it a swerve. Not all of these are the same though. Did a Jonathan Palmer Motorsport Day on a corporate jolly a couple of years ago, it cost the firm £800 then, so not sure how much it is now, but that day was superb.

Tbh mate, that were my concerns, being surrounded most of the day by a load of muppets you have nothing in common with, then being held back whilst on the track.
Undecided now, might have to rope a few mates together and make it a Jolly Boys Outing!

That's the spirit, I'd make it a Jolly Club outing

'Ere, how about this for a plan!
I'll fill a mini bus full of lads and head down South to yours. We could get down early, you could show us around all the decent boozers, then later, I'll take you up on your off of hiring your 'Integrale for £45'. We can all pile in and race it around the local Asda car park late at night.
