点评:I visited Silverstone for a driving experience in the Aston Martin Vantage (5.2L Twin-Turbo V12), and it was an absolutely incredible day.
As a huge motorsport fan, getting to drive such a great car around the legendary home of British Motorsport was a bucket-list moment that exceeded all expectations.
The entire operation is flawlessly organised. From the moment you arrive at the gates, the staff are helpful and direct you exactly where you need to be. Registration was quick and easy, followed by a safety briefing that, while important, was delivered in an engaging and fun way that didn't dampen the excitement.
The setting is second to none; being in the main F1 pits putting on your balaclava and helmet really adds to the atmosphere. My instructor, Alan O’Neill, (Aston Car Number 2) was fantastic. He has loads of experience and gave brilliant instructions on how to handle the car and get the best out of every lap. He made the whole session feel safe yet exhilarating. I came out of the car buzzing and immediately wanting more. Huge thanks to Alan for making it so memorable!
One thing that sets Silverstone apart from other driving events I’ve done is that you aren't "kicked out" once your slot is over. I had access to the whole estate, which meant I could watch a feature race happening on the other side of the track, visit the Escapade hotel and restaurant, check out the Museum, the F1 shops, and even head over to Kart, the go-kart track.
I’ve participated in several driving events over the years, but Silverstone is by far the best from start to finish. Highly recommended!
翻译:我前往银石赛道体验驾驶阿斯顿·马丁Vantage(5.2升双涡轮增压V12发动机),这绝对是一次令人难忘的体验。
作为一名狂热的赛车运动爱好者,能够驾驶这样一辆性能卓越的跑车驰骋在英国赛车运动的传奇圣地,是我人生清单上的一项重要成就,而这次体验更是远远超出了我的预期。
整个体验活动组织得井井有条。从你抵达赛道大门的那一刻起,工作人员就热情周到,指引你前往各个地点。注册过程快捷简便,随后的安全讲解虽然至关重要,但讲解方式生动有趣,丝毫没有影响你的兴奋之情。
体验环境无与伦比;置身于F1主维修区,戴上头套和头盔,那种氛围更加浓厚。我的教练艾伦·奥尼尔(驾驶2号阿斯顿·马丁赛车)非常棒。他经验丰富,对如何操控车辆以及如何跑出最佳圈速都给出了精辟的指导。他让整个体验过程既安全又刺激。我下车后兴奋不已,立刻就想再来一次。非常感谢艾伦,让我拥有了如此难忘的体验!
银石赛道与其他我参加过的驾驶活动最大的不同之处在于,你的驾驶时间结束后不会被“赶走”。我可以自由出入整个场地,这意味着我可以观看赛道另一侧的比赛,还可以去Escapade酒店和餐厅,参观博物馆、F1商店,甚至还可以去卡丁车赛道体验一番。
多年来我参加过不少驾驶活动,但银石赛道绝对是我参加过的所有活动中最棒的,从头到尾都令人难忘。强烈推荐!
