For many of us, buying a Porsche 911 is nothing more than a childhood dream, but now you can take one out on track for a fraction of the asking price.
Starting in spring 2012, Mondello Park will offer the previously unavailable opportunity to get behind the wheel of a Supercar on a purpose built race track, with six course levels available, designed to suit all budgets. Courses recently went on sale through the Mondello Park website and are already proving to be a highly popular Christmas Gift. So if you’re looking for that last minute present look no further.
The Mondello Park Supercar Experience will give drivers the chance to drive a Porsche 911 320 bhp (996 model) or a Porsche Boxster S 270 bhp, with no speed limits and no traffic to hold them back. Courses range in price from €99 to €299, depending on the car chosen and the number of laps purchased, and will take place on Mondello Park’s most popular circuit variation, the National Track, which is almost two kilometers in length.
Each course will begin with a quick safety briefing before drivers go on track for four laps of instruction in a rear wheel drive training car. Following the introductory laps it’s on to the real thing, as participants swap into their chosen Porsche for their Supercar Experience.
Unlike some other Supercar ‘experiences’, drivers will be “permitted and encouraged” to drive fast on the straights, while their instructor will assist them to drive on the correct line, and at the correct speed, for each of the circuit’s wide variety of bends.
So, there you have it. Dreams can come true. Roll on spring.
