Vector Aston Martin and Rally Stage Day
On Wednesday, 15th July, Vector exclusively hired the Goodwood Motor Circuit for around 20 of their key clients for an Aston Martin and Rally Stage Experience Day.
A full fun packed day of driving began with a track familiarisation session in sports saloons, followed by Goodwood’s own fleet of hot hatches.
The highlight of the day for many was the opportunity to drive the Aston Martin V8 Vantage and ProDrive’s dynamic track prepared version of the AMV8, along with the Aston Martin N24 with full roll cage, braking and 42bhp upgrades.
For the second part of the day, guests enjoyed an exhilarating experience on Goodwood’s purpose built Forest Rally stage. Guests acted as rally co-driver as Goodwood’s team of top rally drivers provided a thrilling demonstration of sideways driving in Prodrive’s specially prepared Group N Subaru rally cars. Guests then had the opportunity to drive a Prodrive prepared Subaru STI WRX on Goodwood’s specially designed self drive course.
Guests enjoyed full hospitality including use of the Jackie Stewart Pavilion, cooked breakfast on arrival, served lunch and afternoon tea before a Champagne prize giving ended the day.
Below are just some of the great comments received from clients who enjoyed the event;
“I’ve been dying to drive an Aston Martin ever since I was a kid. I would have sold my wife and kid to get a chance! It was a totally amazing day and I’m very grateful to Vector for the opportunity.”
“It was a truly fabulous event which was enjoyed by all. The drive home felt a bit sedate following the blast round the track in the Aston Martins, but that probably was a good thing bearing in mind the number of speed camera's we passed.”
“Thank you for a brilliant day yesterday. It was really well planned and Pro-Drive and Goodwood are a lot more personable than other tracks I've visited. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.”
“The circuit stage was the absolute highlight. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere on the day was excellent”
“I greatly enjoyed both the rally stage and the track.It was a really great experience to be driven by a Pro, and to get a feeling for how fast the cars could go in the right hands. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, and was very grateful for being given the chance to have such an experience.”
"It was, indeed, a most excellent day; in fact, if you'll pardon the familiarity, I don't think I've ever had more fun with my clothes on! The group was a great mix of very friendly people; everyone that helped the day go so smoothly was so friendly and efficient; the catering was pitched perfectly; the weather was ideal; I was quite anxious about driving such powerful cars at those speeds, but the trainers were excellent at raising my confidence. I still haven't quite "come down" from the excitement of the day!"
“A wonderful day very professionally run and enjoyed by all.”
