Xmas gift ideas- December 11th

Get behind the wheel of some of the world's most exciting supercars at the Thruxton circuit

Thruxton racing

Only a privileged few very rich owners get to drive a Murciélago LP670-4 SV on the limit, right? Wrong, as Thruxton Racing now lets youbehind the wheel of one of the fastest Lamborghinis ever!

We booked ourselves on the Italian Supercar Experience at the Hampshire track, to sample the 670bhp monster.

Aftera detailed 30-minute briefing, we were taken on a sighting lap aroundthe circuit in a Mazda 3 by our expert driver-cum-instructor. We thengot to drive a Porsche Cayman for four laps, and a further four at thewheel of a Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

Then it was into the SV, and we did four circuits of the 2.5-mile course – which were over far too quickly.

Giventhe amount of cars you get to drive, track time is limited. There’sonly one SV, but a fleet of Caymans, although if you’re left to hangaround for your drive, an on-site café sells food and drink.

Friendsand family can watch for free from a viewing platform, and you can buya DVD of your drives – although there’s no camera inside the LP 670-4.

The day costs £425 – good value given the insurance, fuel and tyre costs.
